About Kristi

Kristi Meade is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction-related struggles, mood concerns, and self-esteem challenges.

Background and approach

She emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings and begin to build practical coping skills. Kristi’s background includes six years of clinical work, much of it in a crisis stabilization unit addressing mental health and substance use needs, which shaped her skills in short-term stabilization and relapse-related support.

Her approach blends evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and client-centered listening to tailor work to each person’s goals. Kristi supports clients dealing with bipolar symptoms, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy questions, sleep difficulties, and career or life-transition stressors.

She recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and partners with clients to set realistic steps toward greater resilience and improved daily functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online access



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take committed actions even when difficult emotions are present; it can be useful for anxiety, mood challenges, and situations involving avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and build practical coping strategies, which is often effective for stress, panic, and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on strengthening emotional bonds and improving communication in relationships, helping people process attachment-related concerns and intimacy issues.

Choosing the right approach is usually collaborative rather than predetermined. She will work with each client to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress and priorities become clearer.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes it easier to access consistent care around work schedules, family obligations, and geographic limits. These formats provide flexibility for follow-up, skill practice, and ongoing support while allowing licensed professionals to deliver tailored interventions that fit the client's life.
