Christine Garwick-Foley , LPC

Christine Garwick-Foley brings a compassionate, whole-person approach to therapy, meeting people where they are when grief, anxiety, anger, or exhaustion make daily life feel unmanageable. She focuses on helping adults regain motivation and forward momentum by drawing on each person’s existing strengths and adding practical tools tailored to their needs.

Her background includes certification in Interactive Guided Imagery and Thought Field Therapy, along with additional training in behavioral nutrition, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and NeuroModulation Technique therapy. Christine holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - which indicates formal licensure to practice counseling. These varied trainings allow her to blend somatic, cognitive, and imagery-based methods as appropriate for issues such as grief and loss, chronic pain, depression, anxiety, trauma, and difficulties with motivation.

Working with Christine goes beyond conversation alone; she emphasizes experiential work and skill-building to help clients access inner resources that may feel dormant. Her practice centers on respect for the emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions of each individual, and she aims to help people reclaim a sense of agency and direction. She welcomes the opportunity to help clients identify strengths and learn new strategies for moving forward.

Evidence-Based Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Christine Garwick-Foley commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and EMDR into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship and helps clients explore their feelings and values to foster self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical strategies and skill-building, useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation challenges. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories by combining focused attention with guided bilateral stimulation; it can be helpful for lingering trauma symptoms.

Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic process; Christine collaborates with each person to identify which approaches best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adjusts techniques as progress is made so that therapy feels relevant and effective for the individual.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows for flexible scheduling and access from different locations. These options make it easier for people to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, and licensed professionals can adapt sessions to suit each client’s communication style and comfort level.
