About Christa
Christa Martin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with seven years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and life changes. Sessions address practical problems and emotional struggles alongside everyday responsibilities.
Christa uses a mix of approaches to help people make clear changes. She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with emotion-focused work and mindfulness. She also uses EMDR for trauma-related symptoms and solution-focused methods for concrete goals. These approaches are used to help people manage symptoms, rethink unhelpful patterns, and plan next steps.
Her background includes work with veterans and first responders, and with individuals facing family problems and financial stress. That experience informs how she talks about boundaries, routine, and coping strategies with people who have high-stress roles. She also supports people coping with postpartum mood changes, panic, and persistent mood disorders.
In sessions she focuses on practical skills and real-life application. Conversations often include identifying thinking patterns, practicing grounding or mindfulness exercises, and setting small, achievable steps. She discusses options and adapts methods to what the client prefers.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. Christa works in English and does not take international clients. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How Christa Uses Therapies Online
Christa commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR as part of her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which helps with anxiety, panic, mood changes, and stress. EMDR uses guided attention and processing techniques aimed at reducing the emotional intensity of traumatic memories and their everyday effects.She also draws on emotionally-focused and mindfulness-based strategies to help people notice feelings, practice grounding, and develop steady routines. Choosing an approach is collaborative; the therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust what is used based on how the client responds.
Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, as current options are set by the practice. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work together when schedules or location make in-person meetings difficult. Licensed professionals will help plan sessions so the work fits everyday demands and the client's goals.
