About Christi
Dr. Christi Brown is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Louisiana with 21 years of clinical experience. She focuses on addiction and mood-related concerns and works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. She also addresses topics like grief, parenting strains, career pressures, and ADHD-related struggles.
Dr. Brown uses several therapy styles to match a person's needs. She draws on client-centered work to prioritize each person's own goals and attachments. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps with unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also integrates approaches that attend to emotions and relationship patterns.
Sessions tend to be practical and goal-oriented. Conversations include identifying problems, learning skills, and testing small changes between meetings. For people dealing with substance use or mood instability, sessions include planning for safer choices and coping strategies.
Her background includes a doctorate in addiction psychology and roles supervising and coaching other counselors. That experience informs work with addiction, co-occurring mood disorders, and communication or impulse-control concerns.
Dr. Brown works with adults facing life transitions such as leaving home, starting new jobs, and identity questions common in early adulthood. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early and current relationships shape how someone connects with others. In therapy this can look like mapping relationship patterns and practicing new ways of relating to reduce reactivity and improve trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It usually involves setting small experiments, learning skills for mood and anxiety, and using practical homework between sessions.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan together so the work fits the client's needs and preferences. That collaborative approach helps people figure out what actually helps in day-to-day challenges like work stress, relationship conflict, or managing urges.
This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They can also let someone join from a quieter spot, use only audio if that suits them better, or keep therapy on a consistent schedule around school or work commitments.
