About Christa
Christa Perz is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship trouble, grief, and stress. She is based in New York and brings 18 years of professional experience to sessions. Christa is comfortable addressing men’s wellbeing and related life concerns in a straightforward, practical way.
Christa uses a client-centered style that puts the person’s priorities first. She adapts common methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to suit each person’s needs. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, so people leave with clear next steps.

Her approach is flexible and honest. She listens without judgment and helps people notice patterns that hold them back. From there she offers practical tools for coping, emotion regulation, and rebuilding trust in relationships.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and pace. The therapist listens closely and reflects what she hears to help clients clarify priorities and next steps. This approach helps with mood concerns, relationship issues, and life transitions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and build new habits. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment and to physical sensations. Simple mindfulness exercises can reduce reactivity and improve focus, which helps with anxiety, chronic pain, and stress.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That decision can change over time as progress is reviewed and new concerns come up.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives. They can reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in on a work break, or avoid the need to be on camera if that feels difficult. Many people find these practical benefits help them stay consistent with therapy.
