About Kristi
Kristi Meade is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing anxiety, stress, addiction struggles, mood problems, and life changes. She writes plainly and listens directly. She aims to make beginning therapy less intimidating and supports people who have taken the first step toward help.
She brings six years of professional experience in mental health settings to her work. Much of that time was spent in a crisis stabilization unit addressing mental health and substance use concerns. That background means she is familiar with urgent emotional distress and with people trying to regain steady footing after difficult events, including coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
In sessions she focuses on creating an open space for people to share thoughts and feelings without judgment. She uses therapies that emphasize values, present-moment awareness, and practical problem-solving. Conversations are collaborative and geared toward skills that can be used between meetings.
Kristi combines practical tools with reflective discussion to address problems like sleep disruption, low self-esteem, relationship strain, and grief. She also helps people manage mood disorders, panic, impulsivity, and co-occurring substance concerns. The goal is clearer choices and routines that support daily functioning.
She is licensed in Georgia as an LPC. Sessions are offered in English. If you are unsure whether her style fits your needs, the initial steps are brief and designed to match you with the right care.
How her approaches translate to online work
Kristi uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in a straightforward way. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to notice hard thoughts and feelings. It can help when life feels fragmented after major loss or disaster. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and supports building concrete skills for anxiety, panic, sleep problems, and mood regulation.She also uses client-centered principles, which means sessions emphasize listening and following the client's lead. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. The main practical benefits are flexibility and easier scheduling. Online work can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue working with a licensed professional even when life circumstances make in-person visits difficult. The therapist will help match the format and approach to each person's needs and routines.
