About Christi
Dr. Christi Brown is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 21 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, anger, depression, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
She holds a Ph.D. in addiction psychology and has worked for over two decades in counseling, coaching, and supervising other therapists. Her background includes work with substance use disorders, mood disorders, and integrative approaches to mental health that consider nutrition and spiritual concerns.
In sessions she uses concrete, practical methods. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and test thoughts and behaviors. She also uses attachment-based thinking and client-centered work to clarify patterns in relationships and goals for change.
Her approach is direct and task-focused. She helps people name problems, try new responses, and track what changes. Sessions include talking, skill practice, and planning clear next steps between meetings.
Dr. Brown works with people across many life areas, including parenting and fatherhood issues, communication problems, impulse control, grief, and recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. She also helps with body image, guilt and shame, infidelity, and co-occurring problems that overlap multiple concerns.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Brown commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is practical and focuses on small experiments and skill practice that can be done between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to identify patterns in relationships and how early connection affects current reactions; it helps when relationship patterns or attachment issues are central to the concern.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences with each person and choose methods together. That collaborative step helps match CBT, attachment work, or client-centered techniques to what the person needs and wants to try.
The specific session formats available are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone practice skills in their usual environment and return to sessions with real examples of what worked or didn't. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt materials and exercises so online meetings stay focused and practical.
