About Christi

Dr. Christi Brown brings 21 years of clinical experience to her work in Louisiana. She holds a Ph.D. in addiction psychology and is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor. She speaks English and aims to help people who are ready to make change and improve their day-to-day lives.

She focuses on a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship issues, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem, career strain, ADHD, and jealousy. Additional areas of attention include attachment issues, communication problems, impulsivity, infidelity, and substance use concerns. Her background includes long-term counseling, coaching, and supervising other therapists.

In sessions she uses practical, understandable approaches so people know what to expect. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to shape goals and tools. Conversations prioritize clear steps a person can try between meetings.

Dr. Brown integrates perspectives from addiction psychology and an interest in nutrition and integrative medicine when relevant to a client's struggles. She also attends to cultural and spiritual factors that affect wellbeing. Her style blends direct guidance with a respectful, listening stance.

People who choose to work with her are usually ready to act on goals and want a therapist who combines experience with practical strategies. To begin, readers should use the Start Therapy process and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule according to availability.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships affect feelings and behavior. It helps people understand patterns of trust, closeness, and jealousy so they can try new ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's own goals and pace. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own solutions to problems like anxiety or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides simple exercises and experiments to test unhelpful beliefs and build coping skills for stress, mood issues, and impulsive behavior.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. She will talk with each person about what they want to change, and together they decide which methods to try first. That plan can shift as needs and goals evolve, keeping the work practical and goal-focused.

Confirm the session options before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow quieter check-ins during a lunch break, or make it simpler to keep a brief follow-up when needed. Ask about formats when you start the matching process so scheduling fits your routine.
