About Christa

Christa Martin is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a broad range of emotional challenges. She talks plainly about stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and relationship struggles so parents can understand next steps. Christa aims to build practical plans that fit daily life and family routines.

She is an LPC, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, and has seven years of experience in the field.

Background and approach

Christa blends different therapy methods to match each person’s needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to pinpoint unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand strong feelings that affect close relationships.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be part of work for trauma and upsetting memories. Her sessions tend to be direct and solution-minded. She often focuses on skills that reduce panic and manage mood swings.

Practical strategies for coping with life changes and parenting stress are regular parts of her work. Christa works with adults facing depression, bipolar mood challenges, and career or money worries. She also helps people who are processing postpartum depression, post-traumatic stress, or social anxiety and phobias.

Her approach is hands-on and goal oriented, aiming for measurable changes over time. Based in Mississippi, she offers therapy in English and provides multiple online session formats. Christa uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling begins by completing a short matching questionnaire.

Online approaches that fit family life

Christa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve daily routine. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and shift painful emotional patterns that affect close relationships. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is offered for processing traumatic memories and easing their emotional impact.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christa discusses goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before recommending methods. She adapts techniques over time so the plan stays aligned with what a client wants to accomplish.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for parents and busy schedules. These formats allow therapy to fit around childcare, work, and household routines while still focusing on concrete skills and measurable progress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
