About Kristi

Kristi Lindley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 26 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She works with concerns such as stress and anxiety, mood conditions including depression and bipolar disorder, trauma and grief, addictions and eating-related issues, relationship and family conflicts, parenting and fertility struggles, self-esteem and body image, anger and control issues, and the practical impacts of ADHD.

Her practice also addresses blended family difficulties, commitment and communication problems, and the emotional aftermath of separation, domestic violence, or loss. Her counseling style is warm, interactive, and nonjudgmental.

She combines cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and commitment strategies, client-centered principles, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused interventions to tailor therapy to each person’s needs. Kristi emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping clients explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and build practical skills for coping and growth.

She encourages those ready to make a change to take the next step and offers supportive guidance throughout the process, aiming to help clients move toward greater well-being and more satisfying relationships.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday coping challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward a more meaningful life, which can be helpful for issues like avoidance, shame, and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative part of the work. The therapist will explore a client’s goals, preferences, and responses to different methods and will adapt sessions so techniques fit the person’s needs rather than applying a single model rigidly. This collaborative stance helps tailor interventions over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to engage in skills practice, problem solving, and reflective conversations from different settings, supporting continuity of care and easier access when in-person visits are difficult.
