About Christi

Dr. Christi Brown is a Licensed Professional Counselor who has spent over 21 years helping people find clearer direction during hard times. She holds a doctorate and brings long experience in counseling, coaching, and supervising other clinicians. Her work often focuses on managing stress, anger, addiction, and mood concerns. Dr. Brown takes a straightforward, practical approach. She listens first, then helps people identify small, concrete steps they can try between sessions. Conversations cover everyday routines, coping skills, communication, and how patterns from the past affect present behavior. Her background includes addiction psychology and integrative mental health topics, with attention to spiritual concerns when clients want that included. She also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, and identity questions related to LGBT concerns. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented. She draws from methods such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and emotion-focused techniques to help people notice patterns and practice different ways of responding. People who choose her often want a mix of practical tools and reflective conversation. Dr. Brown aims to create an honest, respectful space where clients can name what matters and try new approaches for change.

How her approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions. It helps people understand connection and trust so they can change repeating patterns in how they relate to others.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and goals. The therapist offers empathy and reflection while the client leads the pace and direction of change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to shift them. It is often used for anxiety, mood, anger, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Brown will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice can change over time as progress is made.

If you are interested in online options, confirm current session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make scheduling easier and let sessions fit into busy days. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or reduce travel time so therapy is more consistent. Licensed professionals adapt their methods so skills practice and reflective conversation still happen effectively through remote sessions.
