About Kristi

Kristi Strickland offers a client-centered approach grounded in practical skills. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and mood concerns. Sessions aim to be down-to-earth and useful for daily life.

Kristi draws from several therapy styles to meet different needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and build better habits.

Background and approach

Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are added when emotion regulation and interpersonal skills are helpful. Her background includes a Master of Social Work and clinical practice that addresses trauma, grief, ADHD, addictions, and relationship or family problems. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, postpartum depression, seasonal mood shifts, and life transitions.

Practical coping skills and clearer communication are common goals in her work. Kristi works with neurodiversity and intellectual disability concerns alongside mood and anxiety conditions, aiming to make therapy concrete and relatable. She can collaborate with other professionals, such as psychiatrists and primary care providers, when coordination is useful for a person’s care.

Sessions are available through multiple remote formats to fit different schedules. People who want to begin can complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Online support

Approach-driven online care that fits your life

Kristi commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify what matters most and take steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes because it focuses on action rather than just feeling better.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that lead to better daily routines. CBT is often helpful for depression, obsessive thinking, and mood management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are added when emotion regulation or relationship patterns need concrete tools for calmer responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristi collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging supports short updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
