Kristi Meade

Kristi Meade is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who focuses on practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, or substance use. She keeps sessions straightforward and calm so clients can talk through what matters most. Kristi aims to build a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be named and worked on together.

She has six years of professional experience and has worked largely in a crisis stabilization unit for mental health and substance use concerns. That background shapes a steady, problem-solving approach to high-stress situations. Kristi draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, mindfulness, emotionally-focused work, and client-centered listening to help people notice patterns and try new responses.

In sessions she helps people with a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar mood issues, addictions, sleep problems, parenting stress, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also supports people managing impulsivity, shame and guilt, communication problems, and life changes brought on by disasters or loss.

Kristi encourages small, manageable steps and practical skills that can fit into daily life. She emphasizes collaboration and tailors strategies to each person’s goals and situation. If you are ready to begin, she asks people to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule a first appointment.

Sessions are conducted in English and Kristi works from Georgia. She does not take international clients, so scheduling is arranged with local time considerations in mind.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, anger, and life changes when someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful cycles; it can help with anxiety, mood, sleep, and impulsive behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can be helpful for stress, anger, and trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she will suggest approaches to try and adjust them based on what the client finds useful, making the choice collaborative rather than fixed.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel, and have shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow the therapist to guide breathing or grounding exercises and to use worksheets or behavioral experiments that clients can try between meetings. If you want to explore remote work, mention scheduling needs on the matching questionnaire so session planning reflects your routine.
