Hello, my name is Christy! I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. I have been working in the field for over 16 years. I received my masters degree at the University of North Florida. In my experience when people are given the right tools or skills it empowers them to cope with any life situation. I believe therapy is the means in which one develops these skills. That is why I use both a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach as well as Person-Centered. I look forward to our time together, guiding you through life's journey towards a more fulfilled life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Christy Paul is a first rate counselor.
Christy is amazing. I am so glad I gave Better Help and her a chance; I felt silly and would quit even after I got an email that I was assigned a counselor. She listened, and she made me feel comfortable and unjudged. I came because I thought I was about to file for divorce. I didn't see any other way. Christy helped me assess myself and get to the root problem of my marriage. Communication. It was still hard to have hard discussions with my wife, but Christy really helped me articulate what I needed to say and was there for me for the aftermath after each talk. It's truly unbelievable how much she helped. Communication put my marriage back on track and would still be off the rails if not for Christy.
Love her
