About Christi
Christi Nelson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and depression. She also supports those coping with life changes, parenting strains, relationship problems, and career uncertainty. Her tone is warm and casual, and she aims to be respectful and nonjudgmental in sessions.
Christi uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people sort out what matters most. She blends client-centered work with cognitive-behavioral ideas and elements of dialectical and existential approaches.
Background and approach
That means sessions often focus on clear goals, problem-solving, and learning skills to manage thoughts and reactions. She brings 19 years of experience working in mental health and addiction settings in Texas. That background includes helping people with substance use concerns, anger, trauma and abuse, and issues related to caregiver stress and first responder roles.
Christi also addresses concerns like low self-esteem, emptiness, and isolation. In a typical session she listens closely, asks practical questions, and helps people try small experiments between meetings. Homework or short practice tasks are offered when they fit the work.
The plan is shaped around each person's goals and pace. Christi works with people across a broad range of life problems, including LGBT concerns, bipolar and mood issues, forgiveness and guilt, and communication or commitment struggles. She encourages clear steps forward and supports people as they build new coping habits.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. Sessions emphasize the person’s own goals and pace, which helps when someone needs support with anxiety, grief, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers practical tools and short exercises to change unhelpful thinking and reduce distress from anxiety, depression, or addictive behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It is useful for people who struggle with mood swings, impulsivity, or high stress reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process makes adjustments over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, tracking progress, or getting support between longer sessions.
