About Christi
Christi Stephenson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with six years of clinical practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as depression, anger, and low self-esteem.
She helps people manage relationship and family tensions and navigates challenges connected to parenting, adoption and foster care, and divorce and separation. Christi also supports those dealing with career strain, compassion fatigue, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress.
Her approach centers on straightforward conversation and practical problem solving. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, clarifying goals, and practicing skills that reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning. She adjusts the pace and topics to what feels most useful for each person.
Christi draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and teach coping tools. She emphasizes clear, respectful communication and sets collaborative goals with the person in the room. The work aims to produce manageable changes people can use between sessions.
Therapy begins with a short assessment to understand current concerns and priorities. From there she and the person create a plan that may include skills practice, processing difficult experiences, and strategies to handle triggers in daily life. Christi’s experience in social work settings informs a practical focus on resources and real-world solutions.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based methods translate to online work
Christi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Trauma-informed strategies involve careful pacing and grounding exercises to help people process difficult experiences without feeling overwhelmed.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit your needs. Decisions about pace, tools, and homework are made collaboratively so the plan stays practical and relevant.
