About Christi
Christi Nelson helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She works with concerns around trauma and abuse, parenting strain, relationship troubles, career shifts, and compassion fatigue. Christi is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 19 years of experience.
Her style is warm and casual. Sessions are respectful and down-to-earth. She aims to create a space where people can talk honestly without feeling judged.
How Christi works
Christi uses approaches that focus on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She blends client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive-behavioral work and skills from dialectical behavior approaches. Mindfulness and existential ideas about meaning and choice also appear in her sessions when they fit a person’s goals.
Clients collaborate with her to set concrete goals and a plan. That plan can include coping skills for anxiety, strategies for addiction recovery, or ways to manage anger and relationship stress. She also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, codependency, isolation, and guilt or shame.
Christi offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. She works in English and practices in Texas. People begin by answering a short matching questionnaire and scheduling sessions based on availability.

How Christi’s approaches translate to online therapy
Christi uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s experience and goals. That approach means sessions start with listening and respect, then shape goals together to reflect what matters most to the person. It helps with confidence, relationship stress, and finding direction.She also uses cognitive-behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT provides clear tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and address addictive patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are priorities; those skills give practical ways to cope in heated moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made or new concerns emerge.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fold therapy into a busy life. Video lets people see facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging support shorter, more frequent contacts and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options help people stay connected to care from wherever they are in Texas.
