About Kristi
Kristi Strickland is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three years of clinical experience based in Indiana. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, parenting challenges, ADHD, and relationship or family concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and she works with a wide range of life changes and grief issues.
She uses practical skills to reduce negative self-talk and build steadier mood management. Her approach includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Jungian ideas. These methods guide conversations and exercises that focus on values, tracking thoughts, and developing coping strategies.
Kristi has experience with autism spectrum traits, intellectual disability, postpartum depression, and compulsive behaviors. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and isolation. Her work can include collaboration with psychiatrists, primary care providers, and social service agencies when helpful to a client's situation.
In sessions she emphasizes building skills for everyday life. That may mean practicing grounding or mindfulness, testing unhelpful thoughts, or learning behaviors that reduce conflict at home or work. Kristi aims to help people find clearer priorities and calmer responses to frustration.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for managing anger tied to avoidance or getting stuck on unhelpful thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking patterns and behaviors that fuel anxiety, depression, or anger. It is practical for managing mood swings and daily triggers. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication skills useful when frustration or intense feelings arise.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your concerns and goals and then suggest methods to try. That process is collaborative, and adjustments can be made as needed based on what helps you most.
The biography indicates interaction by video, phone, and text, but confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins, and offer options when travel or time are limited. Over video you can practice skills together and use worksheets; phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in when bandwidth or visual focus is an issue; text can be useful for brief check-ins or reminders. These choices help sessions fit into everyday life without promising a specific outcome.
