About Christi
Dr. Christi Brown is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with 21 years of clinical experience. She holds a Ph.D. in addiction psychology and focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, anger, depression, grief, parenting strain, self-esteem problems, career concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
She brings a straightforward, practical way of working. Sessions often look at patterns in emotions and attachment, and she uses approaches that help people name and shift those patterns. She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, and client-centered methods when they make sense for a person's goals.
Her background includes counseling, coaching, and supervising therapists across more than two decades. That experience informs how she structures sessions and sets goals with people who want steady progress rather than quick fixes. She also has a focus on addiction-related difficulties and integrates that knowledge into broader mental health care.
People who come for help can expect direct feedback, skills practice, and attention to relationship and attachment dynamics when appropriate. Discussions often cover patterns connected to guilt, shame, control, impulsivity, infidelity, and communication problems. She also addresses issues such as body image and co-occurring mood or substance concerns.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Louisiana. The therapy model tends to emphasize emotions and attachment alongside practical tools for coping and behavior change. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional responses and interaction patterns. It can be useful for people who notice repeated relationship dynamics or have trouble naming strong emotions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and coping. It helps people understand attachment needs and how those needs show up in day-to-day stress and conflict.
She treats the choice of method as a collaborative decision. The therapist and client will review needs, goals, and preferences and then try approaches that fit the situation. Adjustments are made along the way based on what helps most.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as specific online options are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick touchpoint helps. They can also let people use or avoid video depending on what feels most helpful for the session.
