Christa Haney, LPC

Christa Haney is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) working in West Virginia with five years of clinical experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, LGBT-related concerns, and struggles with self-esteem. Christa also focuses on communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, and self-love.

She favors straightforward conversation and practical skills. Sessions focus on understanding thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors in everyday terms. Clients learn tools they can use between appointments to manage symptoms and try out new ways of responding.

Christa draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Rather than long theory lectures, she uses brief, focused exercises and discussion to help people notice what is getting in the way and test small changes.

When someone is navigating a life transition or wondering what comes next, she emphasizes clear steps over vague promises. That can include practicing communication, experimenting with values-based goals, or learning emotion regulation skills to reduce shame and isolation.

Her approach is collaborative: she and the client choose what to try based on current needs and goals. People who want a practical, conversation-oriented counselor to help them sort priorities and build workable habits may find this style useful.
