About Kristi
Kristi Strickland is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Kristi uses practical strategies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try different ways of responding.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people identify patterns that keep problems going. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotional regulation and Jungian ideas when exploring deeper personal meaning. Sessions include skill-building, problem solving, and talking through difficult memories or current conflicts.
Kristi has worked with people across a wide range of concerns including Autism and Asperger Syndrome, avoidant personality, caregiver stress, communication problems, disaster-related coping, divorce and separation, family of origin issues, intellectual disability, isolation, life purpose, mood disorders, OCD, postpartum depression, and Seasonal Affective Disorder. She supports parents and caregivers who are managing stress and relationship strain.
She received a Master of Social Work from Indiana University and also holds Board Certified Behavior Analyst training noted in her background. She is able to consult and collaborate with psychiatrists, primary care providers, and social service agencies when coordination of care is useful.
Sessions are offered in English and Kristi works with adults, adolescents, and children as described in her background. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How CBT and ACT shape online sessions
Kristi commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to pinpoint thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going and then practices new responses through exercises and homework. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that align with their values. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her approach, which focuses on listening and helping people lead sessions at their own pace.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kristi will talk with a client about goals, preferences, and what methods make the most sense. That collaboration guides whether sessions emphasize CBT skills, ACT strategies, DBT coping tools, or a mix of methods.
The original biography indicates she can interact by video, phone, and text, so confirm current session formats before booking. Online sessions can fit into busy schedules by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins by phone or text when needed, and enabling video meetings for longer skill-building sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, school, and family routines without assuming a single format will suit everyone.
