About Kristi
Kristi Meade is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, mood symptoms, and parenting challenges. She writes to people who feel overwhelmed and offers a calm, practical presence so they can begin to feel steadier. Kristi emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be named and understood.
She brings six years of professional experience to her work, including time supporting people in a crisis stabilization setting for mental health and substance use.
Background and approach
That background shaped how she thinks about safety, coping, and short-term stabilization when things feel chaotic. Kristi often helps people sort immediate problems while also planning longer-term steps toward balance. Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
She also uses acceptance and commitment strategies to help people clarify values and commit to meaningful action. Mindfulness and client-centered work shape sessions so that people feel heard and guided rather than lectured. Kristi works with a wide range of concerns beyond mood and addiction, including relationship strain, grief, sleep problems, parenting stress, anger, career transitions, ADHD-related struggles, and compassion fatigue.
She pays attention to how multiple issues interact and helps clients prioritize what to address first. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, chat, or text messaging. Kristi practices in Georgia as an LPC and aims to match practical tools with each person’s goals.

Approaches that guide online work and parenting support
Kristi commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives concrete tools to shift unhelpful patterns. Acceptance and commitment therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps that match what matters most, which can help with parenting stress, mood swings, and anxiety.She also brings a client-centered, listening-first stance so people feel heard before plans are made. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristi will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs, adjusting direction as progress and preferences become clearer.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and fuller exchanges, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or being on-camera is difficult. Live chat and text sessions are convenient for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make scheduling easier for parents and people juggling work or caregiving.
