About Christi

Christi Clark is an Independent Licensed Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction concerns, grief, and anger. Christi also supports people managing trauma, parenting pressures, LGBT issues, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.

Her style is relaxed and conversational. Sessions tend to feel like a straightforward talk where practical steps are discussed. Christi emphasizes respect and avoids labels while focusing on what helps a person feel steadier day to day.

Christi uses a mix of methods to match a person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people notice feelings without being driven by them.

Attachment-based work informs how she looks at close relationships and patterns that repeat over time. Dialectical behavior ideas contribute practical skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Client-centered elements mean the person’s experience helps shape the direction of work.

Her background includes ten years of psychotherapy practice across a range of concerns, including trauma, abuse recovery, developmental disability issues, and family challenges. Christi aims for clear communication and steady problem-solving in sessions. To begin, people follow the platform steps to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept up in them. It is practical for anxiety, anger, and major life transitions because it focuses on values and committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete techniques to change patterns that fuel anger and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relationship patterns and how early bonds influence current reactions, which can be useful for relationship strain and recurring anger.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited over time so methods can shift as needs change.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and offer options that do not require being on camera. Those practical benefits can help people practice skills more consistently between sessions and apply techniques to real-life moments.
