About Kristi
Kristi Strickland is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, skills-based therapy. She brings a warm, nonjudgmental style and aims to help people manage everyday struggles. Kristi uses straightforward tools so parents and individuals can feel steadier and more capable at home and work.
She draws on several approaches to tailor sessions to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people in clarifying values and taking meaningful action even with difficult feelings.
Background and approach
Client-centered work keeps the conversation focused on each person’s goals and strengths. Kristi has experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, trauma, and parenting stress. She also works with concerns such as addiction, low self-esteem, anger, relationship conflict, and life transitions.
Additional focus areas include autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, and obsessive-compulsive concerns. With three years of professional practice, Kristi collaborates with other providers when helpful, including psychiatrists and primary care. She holds an LCSW and CSW and is based in Indiana.
Sessions are offered in English and are available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Kristi aims to build useful coping skills rather than rely on jargon. She supports people in creating manageable routines, clearer communication, and small habit changes that add up over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Kristi draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or low mood and then practice small changes that alter those patterns. She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients clarify what matters to them and to take action toward those values even when feelings are difficult. Client-centered therapy keeps the pace and focus set by the person seeking help so conversations stay practical and goal-focused.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kristi treats the first sessions as a chance to learn about goals, try techniques, and decide together which tools fit best for day-to-day life. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels doable and relevant to each person’s needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, and chat or messaging can support quick reflections or between-session coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to maintain progress between meetings.
