About Christy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with eight years of experience, Christy Damrath helps people manage stress, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship and family concerns, grief, and trauma. She works with adults facing bipolar disorder, depression, PTSD, and related challenges. Christy talks with clients to identify clear goals and practical steps they can use between sessions.
Christy trained at Virginia Commonwealth University, earning a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work. She began practice in community settings in 2012 and later moved into outpatient care. That combination gives her experience with serious mental health conditions and with everyday life stresses.
In sessions she listens, asks questions, and helps people set and reach goals. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness strategies to help clients notice unhelpful thinking, try different behavior, and practice coping skills. The work aims to make changes that are manageable day to day.
Her approach is straightforward. Early sessions focus on understanding current problems and practical goals. Later sessions focus on skills, small experiments, and steps that build on progress.
Christy sees therapy as a collaborative effort. She helps clients weigh options, try new responses, and adjust plans when needed. People who prefer clear goals and concrete strategies may find this style useful.

She will work with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration guides which techniques are emphasized and how sessions are structured.
