LPC, 13 years of experience
I’m Christy J. Manoharan, LPC, NCC. I provide virtual therapy for teens and adults in Georgia and Pennsylvania, helping you shift perspective, manage anxiety, heal from trauma, and build resilience in a safe, supportive space. I believe perspective matters and how we view our thoughts, feelings, and experiences can shape the way we live. My goal is to help teens and adults discover new perspectives that bring freedom, resilience, and hope.
In our first session, we’ll spend time getting to know each other and talking about what brought you to therapy. You don’t need to have the perfect words or know exactly where to start, this is a safe space to share at your own pace. I’ll ask some gentle questions to better understand your goals, challenges, and hopes for therapy. Together, we’ll start building a plan that feels comfortable and realistic for you. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, supported, and with a clearer sense of the path forward.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is creating a safe, welcoming space where you feel truly heard and understood. I know from my own experiences with depression and social anxiety how heavy those struggles can feel, and that perspective allows me to connect with you in a genuine way. My approach blends compassion with practical tools, helping you shift perspective, find resilience, and move toward hope.
If you’ve been carrying the weight of anxiety, trauma, or major life changes, you don’t have to do it alone. I work especially with teens and adults who feel ready to grow, shift perspective, and develop healthier ways of thinking and coping. Together we can focus on resilience, healing, and moving toward hope.
It's my belief that perspective matters. How we view our thoughts, feelings, and experiences can shape the way we live.I use CBT to help you recognize unhelpful thought patterns and see how these influence your emotions and behaviors. In our work together, we practice shifting perspective and building healthier ways of thinking so you can feel more balanced, confident, and equipped to handle life’s challenges.
I use a trauma-informed approach to create a safe, supportive space where your experiences are respected and understood. Together, we explore how past events may still impact your perspective today, and I help you develop tools to restore a sense of safety, resilience, and hope for moving forward.
I use IFS to help you explore the different “parts” of yourself, such as the ones that feel hurt, protective, or critical, and understand how they interact. By learning to approach these parts with curiosity and compassion, you can shift perspective, heal emotional wounds, and experience a greater sense of balance and self-acceptance.
