About Christine
LCSW in Arizona with 25 years of experience, Christine "Christie" Kraft helps people manage stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and parenting challenges. She works with individuals on self-esteem and related issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, and social anxiety. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear conversation rather than jargon. Christie positions the client as the expert on their life and draws on that knowledge to guide work in therapy.
Christie uses a mix of clinical approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and motivational techniques when they fit a person’s goals. In sessions she helps people notice patterns, test small changes, and pick actions that align with their values.
Her background spans community and clinical settings over 25 years as an LCSW. That experience informs a direct style that balances skill-building and reflective conversation. People commonly bring concerns like divorce and separation, communication problems, guilt and shame, post-traumatic stress, and women’s issues.
Work in therapy may include practicing new ways to handle anxiety, clarifying attachment patterns, or building self-compassion and self-love. Christie helps parents address parenting strain and supports people sorting through family conflict. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and challenges that get in the way of meaningful living.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early attachments influence current reactions. It can help address relationship strain, communication problems, and difficulties tied to abandonment or attachment wounds.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining elements from ACT, CBT, DBT, or client-centered work as progress unfolds.
Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting appointments into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which formats are available before booking. Online work can allow for shorter check-ins, steady weekly sessions, or flexible timing to match work and family routines without promising a particular mode of session delivery.
