About Callie

Callie Gruenwald is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with twelve years of clinical experience. She earned a master’s degree in Community Counseling from Oklahoma State University and has provided care across home, outpatient, and residential treatment settings.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with young adults, children and families, and adults facing a range of mental health and life concerns, with particular experience supporting women around addiction and relationship issues. Callie emphasizes a client-led process in which the person seeking support guides the priorities for therapy.

She draws on approaches that help people gain more influence over their thoughts and feelings, while also examining life messages that either help or hinder day-to-day functioning. Treatment focuses on identifying existing strengths and coping skills, and layering in new strategies to manage stressors, changes, and challenges.

Known for a compassionate, open, and direct style, Callie aims to create a collaborative atmosphere where clients feel heard and make measurable progress toward their goals. She offers sessions primarily via video and live chat, and frames therapy as a practical, flexible resource tailored to each person’s needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Callie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as core tools in her online work. CBT involves identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to support coping with life transitions. ACT emphasizes noticing internal experiences, clarifying values, and taking committed action toward a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or emotions are present.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with each client to understand goals, preferences, and life context, then adapts methods and exercises so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single model on every concern.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible and accessible. These options help people fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care when travel or relocation occurs, and choose the format that best supports their comfort and engagement during treatment.
