About Christi

Dr. Christi Brown begins from a long clinical path that spans more than two decades. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, who has focused much of her work on addictions, mood concerns, and related life changes.

She speaks plainly and asks for honest effort from people who want change. She encourages a first step toward clearer goals and healthier coping. Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.

Background and approach

Sessions often focus on what is happening now and on small changes that can reduce stress, manage mood, or address addictive patterns. She also brings client-centered attention to each persons values and goals while using emotion-focused methods to repair connections when relationships matter. Dr.

Brown has 21 years of experience working in counseling, coaching, and supervision roles. She combines that background with an emphasis on integration - looking at mood, body-image and behavior together rather than in isolation. That can be useful when issues overlap, such as mood and substance use or grief and family conflict.

She works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, parenting, trauma and abuse, LGBT issues, ADHD, and addiction. Practical skill-building is a consistent theme - learning tools to cope with intense feelings, improve communication, and make steady progress toward personal goals.

Based in Louisiana, she holds the LPC credential and draws on experience supporting people through life transitions, career questions, and struggles with self-esteem and control. The style is direct, supportive, and focused on long-term change.

Online approaches that focus on skills and connection

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions; it helps when trust, closeness, or communication are causing problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers the persons own goals and values, offering an accepting space where the therapist listens and follows the clients lead to build insight and self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors, which can ease anxiety, depression, and problematic habits.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, whether that means improving emotion regulation, addressing addictive patterns, or repairing relationship strains. Decisions are collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to join sessions from home, keep continuity during busy periods, and use shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. The format supports consistent practice of skills and regular contact with a licensed professional.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
