Christle Reddix

Therapist

Virtual • Alabama


I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who specializes in working with adolescents, teens, and young people navigating emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. Many of the teens and families I support are dealing with anxiety, depression, anger outbursts, defiance, low self-esteem, school stress, peer conflict, family tension, and difficulty managing big emotions. Parents often come to me feeling overwhelmed, unsure how to help, or concerned about changes in behavior, mood, or communication at home.

I believe healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where young people can safely express themselves, build trust, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop a stronger sense of identity and self-worth. My work also focuses on helping families improve communication, reduce conflict, rebuild connection, and create more stable, supportive relationships at home. My goal is to help teens feel more confident and families feel more connected.

Therapist

Virtual • Alabama


I’m an independently licensed therapist in Alabama, and my background includes working full-time as a substance use counselor while also providing evening virtual therapy. I especially enjoy working with teens and adults, and I’m drawn to this work because I believe therapy should help people feel more free, more grounded, and more like themselves again. It means a lot to me when someone trusts me with the parts of their life that feel messy, painful, or overwhelming. I want therapy to feel like a space where you can be honest, feel respected, and begin building real momentum toward the life you want.
