About Christi

Christi Fields is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, substance use concerns, trauma, grief, and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on clinical case management and parenting psycho-education to help clients navigate family problems, adoption and foster care issues, divorce and separation, and complexities related to child welfare or criminal justice involvement. Christi emphasizes practical coping skills alongside emotional processing to address concerns like self-esteem, anger, intimacy-related issues, bipolar disorder, and career transitions.

Her practice is grounded in client self-determination and a harm-reduction perspective, prioritizing what works for each person rather than pursuing an unattainable ideal. Using a Person-in-Environment lens, she blends Client-Centered, Solution-Focused, and Cognitive Behavioral approaches in short-term, integrated work aimed at creating manageable change.

Christi also incorporates motivational interviewing techniques when exploring readiness for change and goal setting. Based in New Mexico, she offers sessions in English and provides a range of online formats to match different needs.

Christi approaches each case with nonjudgmental support and an emphasis on empowerment, helping clients identify realistic steps toward the life experience they want and deserve.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christi commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, empathetic space where clients lead the pace and goals of work; this approach helps people clarify values, build self-understanding, and feel heard while addressing concerns like anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills such as behavioral experiments, problem solving, and emotion regulation that can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Christi works with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts techniques over time so the therapeutic plan reflects what is most useful and realistic for the person in front of her.

Online therapy with Christi is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility and access. These formats allow sessions to fit busy schedules, support continued work between meetings, and make it possible to engage from different locations while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.
