About Kristi
Kristi Meade is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with six years of clinical experience. She has worked in mental health and substance use crisis stabilization settings and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, mood concerns, and anger.
She spent much of her career in a crisis stabilization unit, supporting people through acute distress and substance-related challenges. That front-line work shaped a practical approach focused on what helps day to day. She uses straightforward strategies to reduce intense feelings and interrupt unhelpful patterns.
Kristi draws on several evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods. She mixes talk-based work with skills practice so people leave sessions with things they can try between meetings. Sessions aim to increase awareness of triggers, shift rumination, and improve emotional regulation.
Her practice also addresses relationship strain, grief, sleep trouble, parenting stress, career pressure, and the problems that often come with co-occurring mood or substance challenges. She pays attention to impulse control, communication problems, and feelings of isolation that can feed anger and resentment.
Kristi works in English and focuses on clear, usable tools rather than lengthy theory. She asks practical questions, helps set realistic goals, and supports gradual changes people can maintain in daily life.
How sessions work
Approaches in online sessions and how they help
Kristi commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, and it supports choosing actions that match personal values even when emotions are strong. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and practicing alternative behaviors to reduce reactivity and mood symptoms.Finding the best approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit the clients needs and goals, and may combine approaches as appropriate. Clients and therapist check progress and adjust techniques together rather than following a fixed script.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time for appointments. It also lets people use conversation and skills practice from their own routines, for example trying a breathing exercise between sessions and reporting back on what changed.
