About Christi
Christi Clark is an Independent Licensed Social Worker (LISW) licensed in Ohio with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, trauma and grief. Christi also lists work with LGBT issues, bipolar mood concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
She approaches sessions as straightforward conversations. Christi uses clear communication and a calm manner to help people talk through what is happening at home. She avoids judging or labeling and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.
Christi draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and commit to small actions. Attachment-based ideas are used when relationship patterns are part of the problem.
Her work includes longer-standing problems and life transitions. That can mean looking at family dynamics, adoption or foster care concerns, caregiver stress, or the effects of past abuse. She also supports people managing chronic illness, body image, or blended family situations.
Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-oriented. Christi helps individuals set manageable steps and practices to try between meetings. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes and checks in on what is working and what needs adjusting.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where direction feels unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce distress and change unhelpful habits. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and adult relationship patterns affect current interactions and can help when family dynamics or relationship history are central concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time in a collaborative way.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping momentum between appointments. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to keep regular check-ins, schedule short follow-ups, or avoid travel time so therapy fits into everyday life.
