Callie Gruenwald, LPC

Callie Gruenwald is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 12 years of experience. She earned a master’s degree in Community Counseling from Oklahoma State University and has worked in outpatient, residential, and in-home settings. Callie has supported people facing addiction, relationship challenges, mood concerns, and life transitions. She centers sessions on what each person brings and what they want to change. Callie helps clients notice the thoughts and messages that shape their choices. She highlights existing strengths and builds on coping skills that already work while teaching new ways to respond. Her approach mixes practical strategies with mindfulness and acceptance work. Clients often practice noticing thoughts without getting stuck and choosing values-based actions instead. Callie aims to be compassionate, straightforward, and collaborative in sessions. Past roles included work with young adults, children and families, and adults with mental health diagnoses. That variety influenced her flexible way of working and her focus on real-life changes. She frequently addresses relationship concerns, stress and anxiety, grief, and addiction-related issues. Callie mainly conducts sessions by video and live chat. She invites people to shape the pace of therapy and to speak up if a different focus is needed. The goal is steady progress that fits everyday life and personal priorities.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It helps with anxiety, stress, and making changes when life feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors together, teaching specific skills to reduce unhelpful patterns and manage mood or anxiety symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and build steadier responses to strong feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Callie collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will try techniques, check what helps, and adjust the plan based on what the client reports and needs.

Callie mainly offers sessions by video and live chat according to her biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy week. Video visits let people use visual cues and practice skills together, while live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats aim to help clients apply skills to daily life without needing to travel, and sessions are shaped to match each person’s routine and goals.
