About Christi

Christi Clark is an Independent Licensed Social Worker (LISW) based in Ohio who brings ten years of psychotherapy experience to her work. She offers a calm, conversational approach and aims to help people cope with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, stress, addiction, and parenting challenges.

Christi focuses on treating each person with respect and sensitivity. She avoids labels and works to create a supportive space where people can talk through hard experiences. Her style is relaxed and straightforward so clients can speak honestly and feel heard.

She has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse and those managing mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. Christi also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, self-esteem struggles, anger, and complex life transitions. Adoption and foster care concerns are included among her additional areas of focus.

Christi draws on several practical therapeutic methods to match what each person needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build meaningful action, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior.

Her intention is to empower clients to make changes that lead to better days. To begin, she asks about what matters most to the client and works together on small, achievable steps toward those goals.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people name what matters most and take small actions that match those values. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to change feelings and behavior. It can help with depression, anxiety, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationships shape emotions and reactions, and it can help people who struggle with trust, closeness, or recurring relationship patterns.

Finding the best approach is part of therapy. Christi will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and priorities change.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or let someone have a session without the need to be on camera. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, homework, and communication to suit an online setting so therapy stays practical and focused on everyday change.
