About Christi
Christi Nelson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 19 years of practice. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, parenting strain, relationship problems, anger, depression, and career concerns.
Christi uses straightforward, person-focused conversations to help people reduce reactivity and build clearer choices. She draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage intense feelings. Mindfulness practices and existential questions are also part of her approach when they fit a person's goals.
In session she keeps the tone casual and respectful. People can expect direct feedback, practical exercises, and check-ins on what works between meetings. She aims to help clients notice patterns that fuel irritation, resentment, or impulsive choices and then practice alternatives.
Christi has extensive experience in both mental health and addiction settings in Texas. That background informs how she looks at anger linked to substance use, grief, or caregiver stress. Sessions often combine short skill-building with broader conversations about meaning and priorities.
She encourages people to try things that feel doable. Homework is simple and focused on tiny changes that can reduce tension at home or work. Christi asks about what a typical week looks like and tailors practical steps to fit real life.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Christi uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that fuel anger. CBT offers clear tools for spotting automatic thoughts and testing whether they are accurate, which can reduce reactivity at work or home.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT techniques are practical for managing intense surges of anger, improving grounding, and practicing steady responses instead of impulsive ones.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Christi will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that make sense for their situation, and adjust the plan over time. She emphasizes trying small, practical steps and checking what helps between sessions.
