About Kristi
Kristi Lindley is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 26 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and relationship or family concerns. Her manner is warm and direct, aimed at making conversations easier to begin.
Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere. Kristi listens closely and encourages honest talk about feelings, behaviors, and daily struggles. She aims to help people feel understood before moving into strategies that actually change behavior.
Background and approach
Her approach blends practical tools and human-centered listening. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are added to help people stay present and focus on values-based action.
Kristi also uses solution-focused methods to build small, manageable steps toward goals. Sessions are collaborative, with plans tailored to each person’s priorities and pace. She pays attention to body image, self-esteem, parenting strain, and the impact of life transitions.
Over more than two decades in practice, Kristi has supported people through trauma, eating and food-related issues, substance concerns, bipolar mood challenges, and ADHD-related struggles. She accepts international clients and meets with people in Mississippi and beyond. If someone is ready to take a first step, Kristi offers steady guidance and practical next steps.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Kristi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT sessions often focus on small, practical experiments and skill practice that work well over video or messaging. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and encourage actions that match those values while accepting difficult feelings. ACT helps with anxiety, stress, and life changes by teaching how to move toward what matters despite discomfort.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristi will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts techniques based on what feels most useful for you.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or a format that fits a busy schedule.
