Hi Donn.
If you are in the key of C then you should just stay in C major and not think about modes. C “tonic” can mean a lot of things but if you are referring to key, then the related modes will never change i.e., G will always be Mixolydian and F will always be Lydian. Pitch direction doesn’t make a difference.
