About Christie
Joyner focuses on helping people cope with life changes and family tensions that feel overwhelming. She also supports those dealing with loneliness, workplace stress, and communication problems. Veterans and people navigating multicultural concerns are listed among her focus areas.
In sessions she treats the person you are now, not a diagnosis. Conversations aim to identify small, doable steps that reduce anxiety and help restore balance. She highlights what already works in a person’s life and builds from there.
Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to link thoughts, feelings, and actions to real-world goals. That means noticing what matters to you, testing new behaviors, and adjusting plans when needed. The goal is clearer direction and more usable tools for day-to-day challenges.
Dr. Joyner’s practice is based in Georgia and she works in English. To begin, clients follow an initial matching process and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How ACT and CBT guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take actions that match those values. It focuses on observing difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive behavior, which can help with stress, anxiety, and finding direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new habits that reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit your situation. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what is working and what needs change.
Confirm current session options before booking since session formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as taking meetings during a lunch break, limiting travel time, or stepping into a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for remote work so tools learned in sessions apply to everyday routines.
