About Christi
Christi Fields is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Mexico with ten years of experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, substance use, and parenting concerns. Christi also supports those facing court-related, child welfare, or employment challenges.
Her practice emphasizes client self-determination and harm-reduction. Sessions aim to identify practical steps that feel achievable rather than chasing perfection. Christi uses short-term, integrated tools to address immediate problems and build coping skills.
In sessions she draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and prioritize the client's own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set specific, manageable goals and track small changes.
Her background includes counseling, clinical case management, and parenting psycho-education. Much of her work has involved people connected to the criminal justice system, child welfare, or court processes. That experience informs how she navigates complex systems alongside clients.
People often come to her for help with family and relationship strains, adoption or foster care concerns, blended family issues, divorce and separation, fatherhood questions, and family-of-origin problems. She also addresses challenges tied to ADHD, bipolar disorder, intellectual disability, and issues around sexual orientation.
Christi frames the work as collaborative. She helps clients define what ‘‘good enough’’ looks like for them and then supports practical steps toward those goals. To begin, clients select the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Christi commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, clarifying what matters to the client, and making decisions based on their goals. It helps when someone wants a space to sort priorities and choose next steps. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and tests small changes to reduce distress. It is useful for anger linked to rumination, anxiety, or low mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the first sessions. Christi will work with the client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration guides whether sessions lean more toward skills training, goal-setting, or reflective conversation.
The profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also means you can continue work with a licensed professional while managing family and employment commitments.
