Background and approach
Conversations are practical and down-to-earth, with clear goals you can work toward between sessions. Kristi uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people act on their values.
Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used to build coping skills and find concrete next steps. Sessions are personalized, with Kristi tailoring plans to fit what matters most to the individual. She pays attention to communication and control issues, blended family challenges, and concerns that come from past abuse or abandonment.
She also helps with substance use, eating-related problems, and forgiveness work. People who choose her can expect respectful, sensitive care without labels or stigma. Kristi encourages steady progress and supports practical changes that make daily life easier.
She is based in Mississippi and works with English-speaking clients from varying places.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Kristi commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying core values and taking action toward them while allowing difficult thoughts and feelings to exist. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping during major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to find patterns that keep problems going, and teaches practical skills to change those patterns and reduce symptoms.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristi will discuss options and adjust methods based on each person's goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She often blends techniques so sessions stay practical and tailored rather than rigidly following one model.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick updates, shorter check-ins, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
