Callie Gruenwald , LPC

Callie Gruenwald, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 12 years of clinical experience and a master's degree in Community Counseling from Oklahoma State University, a CACREP accredited program. She has provided care across a range of settings including in-home visits, outpatient clinics, and residential treatment, working with young adults, children and families, adults managing mental health diagnoses, and women facing addiction and relationship challenges.

Her approach centers on the belief that the person in therapy leads the work - Callie sees her role as supporting each individual to identify goals, build on existing strengths, and develop practical coping skills. She uses therapeutic methods that emphasize how thoughts and feelings can be noticed and shaped, and she helps clients examine long-held messages that may either serve them or hold them back.

By exploring different areas of life, Callie assists people in recognizing strengths they already possess and in creating new strategies that fit their circumstances. She aims to be compassionate, open, and direct, and places importance on ensuring clients feel comfortable while also making measurable progress toward what they want from therapy. She primarily offers sessions via video and live chat and is committed to offering support and guidance tailored to each person's needs.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Callie integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while helping clients commit to actions that align with their values - it can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-directed growth - this approach is useful for strengthening self-esteem and improving relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and other mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Callie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Callie is delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and accessibility for those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of support while working with licensed professionals and therapists toward meaningful life changes.
