About Christa
Christa Martin helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or the fallout from trauma. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier. Christa is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC with seven years of clinical experience in Mississippi.
She uses clear, straightforward methods to reduce symptoms and build coping skills. Sessions often look at thought patterns and unhelpful behaviors, while also practicing grounding and mindfulness tools.
How Christa works
EMDR is available for clients who have trauma memories that keep resurfacing. Christa has worked with people affected by first responder and veteran experiences. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, financial pressure, and career uncertainty.
Her background gives her familiarity with mood disorders, panic attacks, postpartum depression, and post-traumatic stress. In sessions she combines goal-focused techniques with attention to emotion and connection. This can mean short-term plans to tackle a problem, paired with exercises that help process difficult feelings.
She explains steps clearly and helps clients track small changes over time. People describe practical takeaways from their work together, such as better coping on high-stress days, clearer communication, or tools to manage panic. Therapy is collaborative and paced to each person’s goals and comfort level.

How these approaches work in online therapy
Christa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT breaks problems into small, manageable steps and is helpful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns.She also offers EMDR for people who have distressing trauma memories. EMDR uses guided attention and processing to reduce the intensity of painful memories and the reactions that follow. When combined with grounding and mindfulness, it can lessen intrusive symptoms.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then recommend a path that fits those needs. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so the work stays focused and useful.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone can be a good lower-bandwidth option, and chat or text works for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats give flexibility for scheduling, quick follow-ups, and steady support between appointments.
