Cristy Carter, LPCC — Therapist in Kentucky

Hi there, I'm Cristy!

I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, addiction, and trauma. My approach is warm, flexible, and tailored to your unique needs.

My focus

I work with individuals suffering from anxiety, panic, substance use disorders, and trauma. I also specialize in supporting adults on the autism spectrum.

My approach

I tailor my approach based on your needs. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused therapy. I also offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy, which can be particularly effective for trauma work.

My communication style

I adapt to what feels right for you. If you prefer a professional experience, I follow suit. If you prefer a laid-back, relaxed approach, I provide that as well.

My journey to mental healthcare

My passion for this work awakened during a psychology class, but my true calling emerged through personal challenges. After my own experience in treatment, I knew helping others was my path. I returned to school and have been dedicated to this work ever since.

My goals for you

I always ask what your goals are. When things feel chaotic and goals are hard to identify, I use your own words to help us discover them together.

Our first session

I seek to understand your world as you're experiencing it right now. You lead the way, and I follow. We may identify goals, or we may spend the full time processing what's on your mind.
