Christi Fields, LCSW

Christi Fields is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Mexico with over 10 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, addiction concerns, grief, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, and questions around intimacy and identity. She also works with clients on coping with life changes, career concerns, ADHD, and parenting topics including adoption and foster care.

Christi’s style is down-to-earth and practical. She offers counseling, clinical case management, and parenting psycho-education. Sessions focus on what is useful now and on steps people can try between meetings. She uses clear, action-oriented techniques rather than abstract theory.

Her approach centers on client self-determination and harm reduction. She aims to help people set realistic goals and find strategies that feel “good enough” rather than chasing perfection. That mindset guides work on substance use, anger, shame, and decision points like divorce or employment shifts.

Therapeutic methods include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. These methods are used in short-term, practical ways to address specific problems like parenting conflicts, blended family issues, or coping after loss.

Christi’s background includes work with individuals and families connected to the child welfare and criminal justice systems. That experience informs her understanding of court-related stress, housing instability, and supports for fathers and other parents navigating system involvement.
