Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
My name is Christa (Christy) McCoy MSW LICSW and I am licensed in the state of Minnesota with 21 years of professional work experience as a clinical school social worker. I hold a Bachelors of Arts Degree in Psychology from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis and a Masters Degree in Social Work from a dual social work program between the University of St. Thomas and St. Catherine University. In my role as a School Social Worker, I provide direct individual and group therapeutic support to youth, offer crisis intervention and prevention as well as family education, support, and advocacy.
As a trained Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my overarching role is to work with clients to holistically foster their well-being by operating from a strengths-based, healing centered engagement and empowerment approach that honors culture, spirituality, civic action and collective healing. Together we will work to identify needs, challenges, areas of support as well as develop achievable goals and plans to meet them. My approach is based on the core fundamental social work values of recognizing the inherent dignity and worth of every human being while also working to promote basic human rights and centering social justice and social change with and on behalf of my clients.
I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

For many common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes – online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions. Research and practice have shown that for these types of issues, working with a therapist remotely often delivers comparable benefits.
One major advantage of remote counseling is flexibility. Individuals can connect with their therapist in the format that fits their life best – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – making it easier to attend sessions without disrupting routines.
Each therapist is a licensed professional, and there is the option to change therapists if someone feels a different fit would be helpful. Online therapy can make consistent, professional support more accessible while allowing people to choose the communication method that feels most comfortable to them.
