About Kristi
Kristi Strickland is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, doable steps people can use every day. She uses straightforward talk and active listening to help people feel less stuck. Kristi keeps sessions calm and direct so parents and individuals can work through the things that interfere with daily life.
She draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered work to help people manage anxiety, depression, and stress.
How Kristi works
That can mean learning new ways to challenge negative self-talk, building habits to stabilize mood, or practicing skills to cope with overwhelming feelings. Sessions are presented in clear language and focused on real-life changes. Kristi has three years of clinical experience and holds LCSW and CSW credentials.
She has worked with people who face ADHD, Autism and Asperger Syndrome, intellectual disability, and postpartum depression. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her practice pays attention to family of origin issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, and the strain parents feel while caring for others.
Treatment can include short skills coaching, longer process work, or a mix of both depending on what the person needs. Kristi can collaborate with psychiatrists and other health professionals when that will help. Sessions are offered from Indiana and are conducted in English.
Therapy can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options
Kristi commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed and then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and compulsive patterns.She approaches treatment collaboratively and sees finding the right method as part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches that fit the person's needs, and adjust strategies as progress is made so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls are good for deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can fit quick check-ins, daily coaching, or times when a shorter touchpoint is most helpful. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, childcare, and other responsibilities.
