Kristi Lindley, LPC - Therapist in Mississippi

About Kristi

Kristi Lindley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 26 years of experience. She helps people who are carrying stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. She also supports those facing relationship and family tensions, parenting challenges, eating and addiction issues, and life changes that feel overwhelming.

Her approach is warm and interactive. Sessions aim to make space for honest talk without judgment. She listens with respect and helps clients name what’s getting in the way of feeling better.

Background and approach

Kristi uses practical, evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She also draws on client-centered and solution-focused ideas to tailor work to each person’s needs. That means sessions include noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying new behaviors, and setting small workable goals.

Many clients find the work is hands-on and collaborative. Kristi helps people build skills for managing anger, coping with trauma or abuse, and handling family or blended family problems. She addresses additional concerns like body image, commitment and communication problems, fertility stress, first responder issues, and substance use.

Kristi practices from Mississippi and offers services in English. She encourages people to take the first step when they are ready and partners with them to make change feel possible.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Kristi commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that match what matters most, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills for managing symptoms like worry, low mood, and unhelpful habits.

She also brings a client-centered, solution-focused sensibility to sessions. That means therapy is collaborative - the therapist and client work together to identify goals and try strategies that fit the clients life. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process and will be adjusted based on each persons needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work through life changes, and check in between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these formats to practice similar tools they would in person, like setting goals, practicing new skills, and reviewing progress together.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
