Christi keeps sessions warm and casual. She meets people where they are and listens without judgment.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and clearer ways to handle emotions and urges. Her approach blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also draws on existential and mindfulness ideas to help people find meaning and calm in daily life.
Treatment plans are built together to match each person’s needs and goals. Christi has long experience with substance use concerns and the stresses that often come with caregiving, job change, and recovery. She offers straightforward support for impulsivity, isolation, guilt, and the hard emotions that follow trauma or loss.
People who choose her can expect a collaborative, practical style that focuses on small changes that add up. Christi encourages honest conversation and helps clients try new ways of responding to anger, cravings, and overwhelming stress.

How these approaches shape online care
Christi uses client-centered therapy to make sure sessions focus on each person's experience. That means she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client's lead while offering support and perspective.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking, test new ways of thinking, and practice different behaviors for anxiety, anger, and low mood.
Dialectical behavior therapy is another tool she uses for managing intense emotions and impulsive actions. DBT offers concrete skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and improving communication when feelings feel overwhelming.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Christi will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, and then suggest ways to blend methods that fit the situation.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is low, chat or messaging work well for short check-ins and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into their day and try approaches in real time.
