01About Kristi
Kristi Meade greets people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor and brings six years of clinical experience to sessions. Her approach is straightforward and calm, aimed at helping people find practical ways to cope and move forward.
Kristi spent much of her career working in a crisis stabilization unit focused on mental health and substance use. That work gave her a lot of hands-on experience with stress, anxiety, addiction, mood concerns like bipolar disorder and depression, and the intensity of crisis situations.
Background and approach
She draws on that background when someone is coping with strong emotions or sudden changes. In sessions she focuses on listening first and building an open, nonjudgmental space. Kristi uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding.
She also uses client-centered and mindfulness approaches to help people feel heard and grounded. Practical problems such as sleep trouble, parenting strain, work stress, and relationship issues are welcomed topics. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, compassion fatigue, impulsivity, and addictive behaviors.
Conversations often include goal setting and small steps toward clearer routines and healthier choices. Kristi offers help by phone, video call, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows based on availability.

04Online support
How therapy approaches work online
Kristi commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy when working with people online. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, panic, and mood problems. Acceptance and commitment therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings, which can help with stress, avoidance, and long-term patterns.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Kristi will talk with each person about goals, current challenges, and what feels comfortable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free option is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or fit short conversations into a busy day. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into everyday life.
