About Christi

Christi Clark is an Independent Licensed Social Worker with ten years of psychotherapy experience in Ohio. She offers a calm, conversational approach that aims to help people feel heard and understood. Christi focuses on practical steps people can take to reduce stress, manage mood, and improve relationships.

Christi has worked with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, parenting strain, and codependency. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, attachment struggles, and challenges related to neurodiversity. Her background includes work with people experiencing personality and mood disorders as well as survivors of physical, emotional, or sexual abuse.

Her style is relaxed and supportive. Sessions are framed as honest conversations where the person sets the pace and goals. Christi uses tools from evidence-based approaches like acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotion-focused work to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping.

Christi values respect and sensitivity and avoids labeling. She emphasizes building practical skills, strengthening relationships, and helping people move toward how they want to live. The process aims to empower clients to make steady changes that fit their everyday life.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. The therapist works in English and practices as an Ohio LISW.

How select approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on actions that matter most to them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and offers practical techniques to shift unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, mood symptoms, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current bonds and communication, helping people improve closeness and trust in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest techniques that fit those needs. Decisions about which methods to try are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The specific session formats offered are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make regular check-ins easier to fit into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow steady momentum between appointments. Some formats can be shorter for quick skills practice, while others allow a fuller hour for deeper conversation. Licensed professionals can adapt the chosen approach to work well in remote sessions and help people build skills they can use day to day.
