About Kristi

Kristi Meade is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who focuses on practical help for common life stresses. She speaks plainly and creates a straightforward space for parents and caregivers to talk about what’s happening now and what they want to change. She aims to make the first step easier for someone feeling overwhelmed or unsure about where to start.

Kristi has six years of professional experience, with much of that time spent in a crisis stabilization unit supporting people facing mental health and substance use challenges.

Background and approach

She has helped people manage anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and problems with addictions. Her background also includes work around self-esteem, sleep issues, anger, grief, and parenting concerns. Her sessions tend to be collaborative and focused on small, doable changes.

She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and from mindfulness to build calm in stressful moments. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques help when relationships and attachment are central to the problem, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can guide clients toward values-based action. Kristi aims to keep conversations nonjudgmental.

She helps people name the problem, try strategies, and track what works. Parents who want clear steps and steady support often find this direct style useful. She offers sessions in English and works with clients through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Costs vary by location and follow a cancellable subscription model. To begin, use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Kristi’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, clarify what matters to them, and take small steps toward those values. It can be useful for managing worry, low motivation, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, and depressive thinking. It works well when clients want concrete strategies and quick practice. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and needs, and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process means techniques may shift over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make scheduling easier around busy lives. These formats let people connect from home, review exercises between sessions, and use different tools depending on the moment. Flexible online options can make it simpler to keep therapy consistent and to practice skills in everyday settings.

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.
