About Christi
Dr. Christi Brown is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 21 years of clinical experience. She focuses on addiction-related concerns, mood disorders, and relationship and family issues, and she lists parenting and LGBT concerns among her areas of practice. She also addresses stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions.
Dr. Brown trained in addiction psychology and has worked in counseling, coaching, and clinical supervision for over two decades. Her background includes work with substance use and mood-related challenges, and she integrates attention to attachment, communication patterns, and coping skills into sessions. She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to address problems that affect daily life at home and work.
Her way of working is straightforward and client-centered. Sessions often involve talking through current problems, identifying patterns that keep those problems going, and learning concrete skills to respond differently. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and on attachment- and emotion-focused ideas to improve close relationships.
Clients can expect a mix of problem-focused work and slower processing when needed. She pays attention to parenting concerns, fatherhood issues, and family problem dynamics as reported by individual clients. She also helps people manage co-occurring issues like substance use and mood instability.
If someone wants to start, the usual next steps are to complete a short intake and schedule a first session. Dr. Brown uses a subscription billing model that can be canceled at any time, and sessions vary in cost by location.
How sessions work
How Dr. Brown’s approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how early bonds shape expectations and reactions in adult relationships and can help when people struggle with closeness, trust, or communication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress to build practical skills for daily life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with strong emotions in relationships. It can be useful for managing intense feelings, grief, and relationship ruptures.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Brown will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean starting with skill-focused CBT exercises and later using attachment or emotion-focused work to address relationship patterns.
The therapist biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make therapy easier to schedule around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Online meetings also let people continue treatment across appointments when life is busy, and the therapist will discuss which session rhythm and style fit into daily routines.
