About Christi
Dr. Christi Brown brings two decades of counseling experience to her work in Louisiana. She holds a Ph.D. in addiction psychology and practices as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor.
Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at helping people make clear changes they can keep. Dr. Brown focuses on addictions, mood challenges, stress, anxiety, and depression.
She also helps people facing grief, relationship problems, parenting strain, career transitions, and challenges related to identity and LGBT issues.
Background and approach
Attachment concerns and body image are additional areas she pays attention to in sessions. Her style blends client-centered conversation with practical tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods are used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns.
Elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy appear when learning new emotion regulation and relationship skills. Dr. Brown also draws on her background in addiction psychology when substance use or co-occurring conditions are present.
She talks clients through strategies for coping with cravings, relapse triggers, and reclaiming daily routines. Sessions aim to feel collaborative and focused. She helps people set small, achievable goals and practices skills together during appointments.
This keeps progress measurable and relevant to day-to-day life. Outside direct counseling, she has experience coaching and supervising other clinicians. That background informs clear communication and a practical problem-solving mindset in therapy.

Online support
Approaches and how online sessions can help
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses, helping people understand patterns they repeat and practice new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the client's lead to uncover goals and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviors, teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address unhelpful habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will try methods that fit those priorities. That collaborative process can mix approaches over time as progress unfolds.
Online sessions give flexibility for different situations. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are good for quick support, homework check-ins, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or a busy schedule while keeping the focus on making steady, practical change.
