About Christi
Christi Erdman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with ten years of clinical experience. She supports people facing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, low self‑esteem, and ADHD-related challenges. Christi focuses on helping clients move from feeling stuck toward clearer choices and stronger self‑care.
She uses a collaborative, person-centered style. Sessions focus on the client's story and practical steps that fit real life. Christi helps people untangle codependency patterns, work through abandonment and attachment concerns, and manage guilt, shame, or feelings of emptiness.
Her work also addresses communication and commitment issues, blended family stress, divorce and separation, and the emotional fallout from domestic violence. She offers a straightforward approach to building self‑compassion and coping skills that hold up in everyday situations.
Christi is experienced supporting people who explore kink and alternative sexual cultures, and she aims to create a nonjudgmental space to talk about identity and relationship choices. She helps clients facing workplace pressure, family tension, and the transitions common in young adulthood through midlife.
Beginning therapy involves small, practical steps. Christi focuses on what people can try between sessions and how to measure progress. Her goal is to help clients find steady ways to feel more confident and in control of their lives.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Christi uses several evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing alternative responses; this helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by giving concrete tools to test in daily life. Another approach emphasizes the role of attachment and relationships, looking at how early and current relationships affect trust, boundaries, and codependency patterns; this helps people improve communication and feel less controlled by past hurts.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That might mean trying one approach for a few sessions and shifting if something else seems more useful; the plan is tailored together rather than fixed in advance.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow for quicker check-ins on tough days. It can also let people meet with a licensed professional from different locations, which can be helpful when juggling work, family, or travel plans.
