About Kristi
Kristi Meade helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addictions, mood swings, grief, and major life changes. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) working in Georgia with six years of clinical experience. Her style is direct but compassionate, with a focus on practical steps people can use between sessions.
She spent much of her career in a crisis stabilization unit supporting people with mental health and substance use concerns.
How Kristi works
That work shaped her ability to respond calmly during urgent moments and to plan clearer next steps when feelings feel out of control. Kristi draws on tools that help people manage symptoms now while building longer-term coping skills. Sessions center on listening first, then working together to set realistic goals.
She uses a mix of approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to focus on values, and client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace. Mindfulness practices and emotionally focused exercises are brought in when they fit the concern. Her background includes helping with sleep problems, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, anger, and career stress.
Kristi also supports people facing trauma, dissociation, or co-occurring substance use and mood disorders. She helps people sort priorities, build communication skills, and regain a sense of control. If someone is ready to try online sessions, she offers several formats and helps clients choose what will work best for them.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions often include brief exercises and real-world assignments to practice between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical experiments; that approach works well over video or phone with worksheets and guided rehearsal. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the person sets the pace and goals, which can be effective in text-based or live chat formats when someone needs time to reflect.Kristi treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She typically starts by asking about immediate concerns and what the person hopes to change, then suggests methods to try. Together they check in and adjust techniques so therapy fits the client’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than forcing a single model.
Online sessions offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let you use visual cues and structured worksheets, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a quicker check-in, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief updates and ongoing accountability between sessions. These options help people stay consistent while choosing the format that suits their schedule and comfort.
