About Christi
Dr. Christi Brown brings more than 21 years of counseling experience to her practice in Louisiana. She holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential and a Ph.D. in addiction psychology.
Her work focuses on practical steps people can take to manage strong emotions, reduce risky behaviors, and rebuild day-to-day functioning. Clients come to her for help with anger, stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, and relationship concerns. She also supports people facing trauma, grief, parenting strain, and challenges tied to identity and self-esteem.
Background and approach
Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on skills people can use between sessions. In sessions she blends approaches that match each person’s needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and on cognitive behavioral methods to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally focused work when emotion regulation and connection are priorities. Her background includes long experience coaching and supervising other counselors, and she integrates that perspective into her work with clients. She aims to create a calm, respectful setting where people can practice new ways of coping and relating.
Dr. Brown frames therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set clear goals, identify small steps, and track progress so change feels achievable.
Practical tools and steady support are central to how she helps people move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional responses. It helps people see recurring patterns and make different choices in relationships and close interactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, anger, or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills for people who struggle with intense feelings and impulsivity.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Sessions are collaborative, with clear goals and homework or practice between meetings when helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or avoid screen fatigue. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in more frequently and use brief tools between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
