About Kristi
Kristi Strickland is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Certified Social Worker (CSW) practicing in Indiana with three years of post-qualification experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, parenting strain, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related problems, and anger.
Kristi uses straightforward, skills-based approaches. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to help people rewrite unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical behavior strategies are used to build emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness methods are part of how she helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values.
Her background includes work with people on the autism spectrum and those with intellectual disability. She also supports those coping with caregiver stress, communication problems, life transitions, obsessive or compulsive patterns, postpartum mood concerns, and seasonal mood changes. Kristi can coordinate with psychiatrists, primary care, and social service agencies when that collaboration supports a person's goals.
Sessions aim to teach practical coping skills and clearer communication. She focuses on concrete techniques rather than abstract theory, and she works with people to practice skills between meetings. That includes building routines, brief behavioral experiments, and short exercises to reduce reactivity.
Kristi offers sessions in English and does not work with international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions operate under a cancelable subscription model. To get started, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the site's online options.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Kristi commonly combines cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in session. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors, which helps with anxiety, anger, and mood concerns. ACT encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting carried away by them, then choosing actions that reflect personal values, which can support people coping with stress and life changes.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She will work collaboratively with each person to choose exercises and skills that match their goals and daily life. That collaborative process includes checking which techniques feel useful and adjusting direction as needs change.
The therapist's biography notes she can interact by video, phone, and text, but readers should confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer a choice about being on camera. These practical benefits help people practice skills consistently without having to rearrange their whole day.
