About Kristi
Kristi Meade is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel doable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed. She has six years of professional experience and has worked extensively in a crisis stabilization unit focused on mental health and substance use.
That work shaped how she responds to urgent concerns and supports people through intense emotions and hard moments.
Background and approach
Kristi uses methods that focus on the client’s values, present experience, and practical skills. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and client-centered care to shape sessions around what a person wants to change. Conversations are meant to be direct and compassionate, with real strategies to try between meetings.
People come to her for help with anxiety, addictions, mood concerns such as bipolar and depression, low self-esteem, grief, sleep problems, and coping with life changes. She also addresses family and relationship stress, anger, and struggles like impulsivity or isolation. Sessions focus on clear goals and simple tools that fit day-to-day life.
Kristi emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be named and worked through. She encourages small steps and practical practice to build lasting change.
Practical approaches you can use online
Kristi commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic or low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kristi collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and day-to-day life, and she adjusts plans as progress or needs change. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel useful from the start.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different routines. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls can fit a quick check-in or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support brief updates or skills practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while continuing to use evidence-informed methods like ACT and CBT.
