About Christi
Dr. Christi Brown is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 21 years of clinical experience. She holds a Ph.D. in addiction psychology and has worked extensively with substance use and mood concerns. Christen identifies issues she commonly addresses as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, anger, depression, grief, parenting concerns, and ADHD.
Her background also includes coaching, supervising other clinicians, and integrating nutrition and integrative medicine ideas into mental health work. She uses a range of approaches including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT).
In sessions she tends to be direct and practical. She helps people name patterns, try new ways of responding, and practice skills between meetings. That can mean working on impulse control, managing anger, addressing addictive behaviors, or improving communication skills.
People often come with mixed issues, such as depression combined with substance use or relationship stress alongside trauma. She notes fatherhood issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, body image, and co-morbidity as areas she commonly addresses. Her experience includes supervision and mentoring of other counselors.
Dr. Brown also works with concerns tied to LGBT experiences and with coping after disasters. Her practice language is English, and she sees people in Louisiana according to local licensure rules.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how early bonds affect reactions now; it is useful for relationship strain and anger that ties back to connection needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete skills to test and change responses to stress and upsetting situations. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings practical emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that help with impulsivity, strong anger, and managing urges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That means trying strategies, checking how they work, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten a check-in when time is limited, or avoid travel to an office. Licensed professionals can use video or phone in different ways depending on a client's needs, and remote sessions still allow practice of skills, homework review, and focused problem solving.
