About Christi

Christi Clark is an Ohio-based licensed independent social worker (LISW) with ten years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, grief, and caregiver fatigue. Christi also supports clients navigating parenting concerns, life transitions, and challenges related to aging and geriatric issues.

She keeps sessions conversational and calm. Christi aims to listen first and respond with practical suggestions. She focuses on helping people find clearer ways to cope day to day and regain a sense of control.

Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods. Christi uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people settle on personal values, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking, and Attachment-Based ideas to strengthen relationships. She also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered methods when they fit the moment.

Christi has worked with people who experienced trauma, abuse, personality challenges, developmental differences, and chronic health concerns. That range has shaped a flexible style that adjusts to each person's needs and pace. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and practical tools over labels.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability. Christi encourages people to take small steps toward better days and offers steady support through the process.

How Christi's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions that match those values, which can ease decision making during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety or depression symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relationship patterns and helps people build more secure ways of relating to others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christi will talk through goals, preferences, and the concerns you bring, then suggest methods that fit. The process is collaborative and can shift as needs change over time.

Confirm current session options before booking to learn which online formats are available. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use therapeutic tools in the moments they matter most, like practicing skills between sessions. If you want to explore this option, the therapist will review the practical details and help match an approach to your daily life.
