About Christi
Dr. Christi Brown is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with 21 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, struggling with addiction, or facing mood and relationship challenges.
She welcomes honest conversation and practical work toward clearer goals. She uses straightforward approaches to help people manage strong emotions like anger, grief, or shame. Dr.
Brown draws on methods that consider how early bonds shape current relationships.
How Christi works
She also uses techniques that help people change unhelpful thinking and improve daily coping skills. Sessions often focus on identifying patterns that cause pain. Then she and the client test small changes and build new habits.
There is time for talking through traumatic experiences and for learning tools to handle cravings or impulsive urges. Her background includes long-term work in addiction and mood disorders, plus experience supporting people with identity and LGBT concerns. She also helps clients facing parenting strain, career stress, body image issues, and the aftermath of loss or disaster.
Dr. Brown blends counseling and coaching when people want practical plans alongside emotional work. She aims to make therapy useful and doable for busy lives.
The focus is on steady progress and clearer next steps rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and reacting. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and build healthier ways to relate. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or impulsive reactions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name strong emotions so they can respond differently and repair strained connections.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. That collaborative process can include mixing approaches when a combination seems more useful for mood concerns, addiction recovery, or relationship stress.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues and have fuller conversations, while phone sessions can fit into a short break or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, real-time coping prompts, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to practice skills between sessions.
