About Kristi
Kristi Strickland is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Indiana with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family problems, and trauma-related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and aimed at practical coping and problem-solving.
Kristi draws on several therapeutic approaches to help people build skills they can use day to day. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice thoughts and make purposeful changes in behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when mood instability and strong reactions are present.
Her work also includes client-centered and Jungian perspectives that pay attention to personal meaning and individual strengths. This can look like focused conversations about values, patterns, and relationships. She describes helping people reduce negative self-talk and develop healthier ways of coping.
Kristi has experience across a range of situations, including Autism Spectrum concerns, intellectual disability, postpartum depression, grief, and caregiver stress. She also has experience collaborating with psychiatrists, primary care providers, and social service agencies when coordination of care is useful for a client.
Practical skill building is a common focus in sessions. That might include short behavioral experiments, mindfulness exercises, or communication practice. To begin, the site matching questionnaire and scheduling tools are used to arrange an initial session.
BHow sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches guide online work
Kristi uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take actions that align with those values. ACT often focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and committing to small, value-driven steps that reduce avoidance and increase engagement in life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify thought patterns and try simple experiments to test beliefs. CBT strategies commonly include tracking thoughts, behavioral activation for low mood, and skills to reduce anxiety symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are offered when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are central concerns. DBT-based work tends to include concrete skills practice such as grounding, opposite action, and breath-based methods for high-intensity moments.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most relevant based on a client’s goals, everyday constraints, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is reviewed and new needs emerge.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography lists multiple ways of interacting but the platform’s arrangements can vary. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let clients use phone or video options depending on what best fits their day-to-day routine.
