About Kristi
Kristi Lindley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 26 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, anger, addictions, eating issues, grief, self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and life changes.
Kristi uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through their feelings and responses. She keeps sessions interactive and practical. She encourages honest talk about anger, resentment, and the patterns that lead to outbursts. The focus is on clearer choices rather than labels.
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered work. Mindfulness and solution-focused methods are also part of her toolkit. That mix lets her teach skills for noticing triggers, changing unhelpful thoughts, and trying small behavior changes between sessions.
Kristi aims to be respectful and nonjudgmental in sessions. She listens for what matters most to each person and uses that as a starting point for planning steps forward. Conversations include both present challenges and practical strategies to reduce the intensity and frequency of angry reactions.
People who come for help with parenting stress, relationship conflict, or workplace frustration often leave with concrete coping techniques. She also supports those working through trauma, grief, or addictions alongside anger concerns. The emphasis is on steady, manageable progress over time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult feelings and choose actions that reflect their values rather than reacting on impulse. It can be useful for anger that comes from long-held frustration or conflicted loyalties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anger tied to distorted thinking or stress responses.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kristi will discuss goals and preferences with each person and try methods that fit their situation. That collaborative process helps decide whether ACT, CBT, mindfulness, or solution-focused techniques will be most useful in a given case.
