Christyn Jaap

Christyn aims to make the first steps feel manageable and steady for people who are nervous about starting therapy. Christyn draws on five years of counseling experience and a background that includes work in school settings as a teacher, coach, and counselor.

She listens for what matters most to each person and builds on their existing strengths. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with attention to practical steps people can use between visits.

Her approach combines client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. That means Christyn works to understand each person's perspective, then helps identify patterns of thought and behavior to shift.

She also uses ideas from the Gottman Method when relationship patterns and communication are central concerns. People can expect clear, down-to-earth language in sessions.

Christyn helps name specific problems, set achievable goals, and practice small changes that add up. She supports exploration of difficult feelings like shame, guilt, grief, and anger while keeping the work focused and actionable.

Christyn offers multiple online formats so people can choose what fits their life. Her style emphasizes collaboration, steady progress, and helping people feel more in control of day-to-day challenges.
