About Christa
Christa Martin is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and money concerns. She works with individuals who are juggling grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, or career and life changes. Christa aims to help people build practical coping skills and clearer next steps when life feels overwhelming.
Christa practices from a compassionate, faith-informed stance and draws on several structured methods to guide sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to clarify feelings in close relationships and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when trauma memories are getting in the way of daily life.
Her background includes seven years as a counselor and work with military veterans and first responder issues, which has shaped her understanding of high-stress careers. She offers support for mood disorders, panic attacks, postpartum depression, and addiction-related concerns as part of a broader practice focus.
Christa holds an MS and is a Licensed Professional Counselor, and she provides services in Mississippi. Sessions are offered in English. She encourages people to bring practical goals to sessions, whether that means stabilizing mood, reducing panic, improving relationships, or addressing money and financial issues.
To begin, she asks people to think about what feels most urgent and what a successful change would look like. That helps form a clear plan for therapy and keeps work focused and concrete.
Online approaches that match your goals
Christa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try new responses to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and expressing emotions in close relationships, helping people communicate needs more clearly and feel more connected.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when trauma memories are getting in the way of daily life; EMDR helps process distressing memories so they no longer trigger the same intense reactions. Christa treats the choice of approach as a shared decision. She will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, comfort level, and pace rather than insisting on a single technique.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people choose online work because it can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can make it easier to continue therapy during life transitions while still focusing on concrete skills for stress, panic, trauma, relationships, and money concerns.
