About Kristi
Kristi Strickland is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, skills-based therapy to help people manage strong emotions and everyday stress. She brings a calm, straightforward style and focuses on building tools clients can use outside sessions. Kristi holds a Master of Social Work and practices in Indiana as an LCSW and CSW.
Kristi helps people who struggle with anger, anxiety, depression, attention differences, and compulsive behaviors. She also supports those dealing with grief, relationship problems, parenting strain, and burnout from caregiving or demanding work.
Background and approach
Her approach centers on teaching coping skills that fit into busy family and work schedules. She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thought patterns and increase value-driven action. Kristi also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and on client-centered techniques to tailor sessions to each person’s pace.
Jungian ideas inform how she looks at patterns that repeat across a person’s life. Sessions typically focus on clear goals such as reducing angry outbursts, managing panic, improving communication, or building routines for mood stability. Kristi works with practical steps first and then layers in insight and meaning when it feels useful.
She can collaborate with other providers when coordination will help progress. Kristi has three years of clinical experience and speaks English. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their day and comfort level.

How Kristi's Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values; it is useful for anger, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with depression, OCD tendencies, and ADHD challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that are helpful for intense anger and mood swings. Kristi views finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with the client about goals, try strategies together, and adjust methods based on what works. This collaborative process helps match techniques to each person’s needs and daily life. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a hectic schedule. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice skills in real time, phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be a good check-in option, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief updates or between-session coaching. These options give flexibility for different days and different needs, while keeping the focus on skill building and steady progress.Questions people ask about Kristi
