About Christy
LMFT in North Carolina with 5 years of clinical experience. Christy Rideout focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She works with adults to address current problems and build practical skills for everyday life.
Christy uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as one of her approaches for trauma-related concerns. In sessions she listens to what matters most and helps clients identify next steps they can try between meetings. Conversations are direct and paced to match each person’s comfort level.
She often supports people who are struggling after difficult events, feeling stuck in low mood, or having conflict in close relationships. Work in therapy may include processing past experiences, building confidence, and practicing new ways of handling stress and change.
Christy frames treatment around clear goals. She and the client check progress and adjust the plan as needed. That approach helps keep sessions focused and practical.
Clients typically leave sessions with specific skills to try and small tasks to practice. Over time the aim is to reduce distress, increase coping, and improve how people relate to themselves and others.

EMDR and remote work with a licensed therapist
EMDR is a structured approach that helps people process distressing memories. It uses guided attention paired with focused recall to reduce the intensity of painful memories and lessen their impact on daily life. This method is commonly used for trauma and abuse-related concerns and for clients who notice recurring distress from past events.In sessions Christy pairs EMDR with focused conversation about current relationship and mood challenges. She helps clients set goals, then tests ways of thinking and behaving that fit those goals. Finding the right approach is collaborative - she works with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which remote options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or let someone choose a session style that uses less video when needed. Licensed professionals adapt techniques like EMDR for remote appointments when appropriate, and the clinician will discuss practical arrangements during the first scheduling steps.
