About Christi

Her approach is direct and practical, aimed at helping clients make changes that fit their everyday lives. She uses clear, evidence-informed methods to address stress, anxiety, depression, and substance use concerns.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on concrete skills and steps clients can practice between visits. She also supports people managing identity-related stress, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Dr.
Brown blends attachment-focused work with client-centered conversations to build trust and safety in the therapeutic relationship. She adds cognitive behavioral techniques to help people rethink unhelpful patterns and dialectical strategies to manage intense emotions. Therapy often includes goal-setting and hands-on coping tools.

She works with issues that affect parent-child dynamics such as communication problems, attachment issues, and coping with major life changes. Her practice also addresses co-occurring problems like ADHD symptoms, substance use and mood instability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Brown uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds affect current relationships. This approach helps people identify patterns in closeness, trust, and communication that show up in adult life. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and habit change, including addictive patterns.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and then blends methods to match what each person needs. This collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits daily routines and real-world challenges.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills work and detailed conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Messaging and live chat offer quick check-ins, brief coaching, or continuing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep steady progress over time.
