About Christi

Christi Nelson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and low self-esteem. She supports those coping with life changes, relationship and parenting struggles, career uncertainty, and the long-term effects of trauma and abuse. Her style is warm and casual.

Sessions feel respectful and down-to-earth. Christi listens closely and avoids judgment while helping people sort through hard choices and painful feelings. She uses conversational approaches that focus on the person in front of her.

Background and approach

That can include questions and practical tools to notice unhelpful thoughts, skills for managing strong emotions, and discussion about meaning and values. The goal is to find useful steps the client can try between sessions. Christi draws on nearly two decades of experience in mental health and addiction work in Texas.

She merges client-centered care with cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and existential ideas about purpose and responsibility. This mix is shaped to each person rather than applied the same way to everyone. People often come for help with addiction, mood concerns like bipolar or depression, relationship conflict, or caregiver strain.

Christi also supports LGBT concerns, first responder issues, and compassion fatigue. She aims to help clients move toward clearer choices and more manageable days.

Online support

How her approaches work in online sessions

Existential Therapy looks at life meaning, values, and choices. It helps when people feel empty, stuck, or unsure about direction by inviting honest conversation about what matters and what feels missing.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person and their experience. The therapist listens, reflects, and follows the client's lead so the client feels heard and can discover their own solutions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to notice and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It suits anxiety, depression, addiction triggers, and coping with intense emotions.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and try techniques that fit the situation. Sessions often include a mix of talking, skill-building, and reflection so the plan can shift as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varying day-to-day needs.
