About Kristi

Kristi Strickland brings a client-centered, skills-focused approach to therapy that emphasizes practical strategies and personal meaning.

Background and approach

Kristi holds LCSW and CSW credentials and combines these frameworks to address mood and behavior challenges with an eye toward day-to-day functioning. Her work focuses on a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, ADHD, depression, parenting challenges, relationship and family issues, trauma, grief, and substance-related problems.

She also supports people facing issues such as autism spectrum differences, avoidant personality traits, caregiver stress, OCD-related concerns, postpartum depression, and life transitions. With three years of clinical experience, Kristi offers collaborative care that emphasizes skill-building, clearer communication, and practical steps toward improved balance.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Kristi uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while reconnecting with personal values and meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is offered to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, a useful approach for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day challenges.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with each person to determine which combination of techniques best matches their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and adjusts the plan over time as needs change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and use tools and exercises between sessions. Clients can choose the format that feels most comfortable, and sessions are scheduled based on therapist availability and the subscription model.
