About Kristi
Kristi Meade is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with six years of clinical experience. She has worked largely in crisis stabilization settings for mental health and substance use, and she combines that background with a calm, practical approach to everyday concerns.
She helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, and relationship and family difficulties. She also supports work on trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, career concerns, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include ADHD, co-morbidity, communication problems, control issues, dissociation, and substance use disorders.
Kristi uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy. In sessions she listens for patterns in feelings and interaction and helps people name what is happening. She encourages clear, doable steps people can try between meetings.
Her background in crisis stabilization means she is familiar with rapid shifts in mood and behavior and with working alongside people facing substance use challenges. That experience informs how she plans short-term goals and safety-focused steps when needed.
To begin, Kristi asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location. Sessions are offered in English and she is not accepting international clients.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions and attachment-related patterns in relationships. It can help people recognize recurring interaction patterns and respond differently to strong feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to identify values that guide action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete skills for changing unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kristi will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That discussion happens early so sessions can focus on what matters most to the client.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and accommodate times when being on camera is not preferred. Licensed professionals can adapt EFT, ACT, and CBT techniques to work over the internet, and Kristi will discuss practical arrangements when you schedule a first appointment.
