About Christi
Dr. Christi Brown brings over two decades of counseling and supervisory experience to her practice in Louisiana.
Background and approach
She holds the LPC credential and a doctorate in addiction psychology, and she has focused much of her work on substance use and mood disorders as well as integrative approaches that consider nutrition and spiritual concerns.
Her background includes coaching and supervising other therapists, and she draws on that breadth to support people navigating addiction, grief, anxiety, depression, and complex life transitions. Her style blends practical, evidence-informed strategies with an empathic, client-centered stance.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is among the approaches she uses to help clients identify and shift unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior, while attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas inform work around relationships and family dynamics. Dr.
Brown also addresses concerns related to LGBT identities, parenting, career challenges, and co-occurring issues such as addiction and mood instability. She offers services via video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, and works in English from Louisiana.
Prospective clients can begin by selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a short matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to her availability.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Dr. Brown commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many practical life concerns. She also integrates attachment-based approaches to explore how early relationship patterns affect adult connections and emotional regulation, often helping with communication and family-related struggles. Client-centered principles guide much of her work as well, focusing on empathic listening and collaborating with clients to set goals that matter to them.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; she works with people to identify which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they consider symptom patterns, personal values, and daily life demands to shape a plan that feels achievable and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in that process through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access treatment from different locations within Louisiana. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, attachment work, and client-centered techniques effectively across these formats to support progress over time.
