About Callie

Callie Gruenwald is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 12 years of experience based in Georgia. She holds a master's degree in Community Counseling from Oklahoma State University and has worked in outpatient and residential treatment settings. Callie has supported adults facing mental health diagnoses and life changes, and has experience with addiction and relationship concerns.

Callie’s approach centers on the client directing the work. She uses therapies that help people notice and choose how they respond to thoughts and feelings. In sessions she looks at life messages that still help and those that hold people back. The aim is practical: identify existing strengths and build useful coping skills while adding new tools where needed.

Her clinical toolkit includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. She integrates these to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma and grief, parenting strain, and addictive behaviors.

Callie has worked with people in a variety of settings and has experience supporting issues tied to family of origin, blended families, attachment, and communication problems. She also helps with body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and forgiveness concerns. Her style is direct and open; she aims to make sure people get what they are looking for while keeping sessions focused and practical.

Sessions are primarily conducted via video and live chat. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and subscription details, since costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Callie regularly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. ACT focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, and it’s useful for handling persistent anger or avoidance. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skill changes for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness techniques to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. These tools can help with sudden surges of anger, problems with communication, and habits that feed resentment. Each approach emphasizes concrete skills you can practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Callie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to focus on and adjust the plan as needs change.

Her listed session formats are video and live chat; please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in the settings where real-life triggers happen, while keeping the work practical and focused on daily routines.
