About Christi
Christi Fields is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of experience helping people who are stressed, anxious, or facing major life changes. She focuses on practical help for depression, anxiety, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, grief, and relationship difficulties. Christi uses straightforward, people-first language and aims to make next steps clear for a worried parent or an overwhelmed adult.
Christi offers counseling, clinical case management, and parenting psychoeducation learned over a range of community and court-involved settings.
Background and approach
She has experience supporting people affected by trauma, domestic violence, substance use, homelessness, divorce, and child welfare involvement. That background shapes a pragmatic approach to everyday problems. Her work centers on client self-determination and harm reduction.
Sessions emphasize what matters most to the individual and look for workable changes rather than perfection. Christi uses a person-in-environment view to see how relationships, work, and community factors affect feelings and behavior. She draws on Client-Centered methods to listen and respond to what each person needs.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used when noticing patterns of thought and behavior can reduce symptoms. Solution-Focused and Motivational Interviewing ideas help set short-term goals and build momentum toward them. Christi practices in New Mexico as an LCSW and conducts sessions in English.
She combines clinical work with practical coaching to help people find realistic steps forward. If someone wants clear, direct support for anxiety, parenting strain, or coping with life changes, Christi offers a calm, matter-of-fact way to get started.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says. The therapist reflects concerns, validates feelings, and helps clients set the pace of work to match their needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact; practical exercises and small behavioral changes can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms over time.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christi works with clients to identify goals and then tries techniques that match those goals, adjusting as needed based on what helps most. That team approach makes it easier to pick strategies that fit someone’s life and priorities.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and access consistent support from licensed professionals.
