About Christi
Christi Fields is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 10 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, and addiction. She works with clients facing grief, trauma, anger, and relationship difficulties. Christi also helps with career transitions, coping with life changes, ADHD concerns, and issues tied to adoption or blended families.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She centers each person’s goals and values, and uses practical tools rather than one-size-fits-all answers.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what will make daily life feel more manageable and meaningful. Christi blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change.
These methods are used in ways that fit the person’s situation and goals. Christi has worked in settings that included court involvement, child welfare, and housing services. That background informs her understanding of complex family and legal stressors.
Her practice emphasizes harm reduction and avoiding judgement while helping clients set realistic steps forward. She offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging sessions for people in New Mexico. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online parenting and life work
Christi uses client-centered therapy to begin sessions by listening and responding to each person’s priorities. This approach focuses on empathy and the client’s own goals, and it helps people feel heard while deciding what they want to change.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT offers practical strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress related to parenting or work.
Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses to help people find their own reasons for change. It helps when someone feels stuck or unsure how to begin making adjustments in their life or parenting approach.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to a person’s goals, preferences, and daily realities. That collaborative process helps shape clear, manageable steps forward.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions let people engage face-to-face when possible. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, coaching-type support, or when typing is more comfortable. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around parenting and life demands.
