About Christi
Christi Clark is an Ohio-based licensed independent social worker (LISW) with ten years of experience as a psychotherapist. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns, and struggles around identity and parenting. Christi aims to create a calm, respectful space for people to talk through what matters to them.
Her approach is conversational and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than labels. Christi emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping people name what feels hard and choose workable next steps.
She uses a mix of approaches depending on each person's needs, drawing on methods that help with thoughts, emotions, and relationships. That can include exercises to notice unhelpful patterns, skills for managing strong feelings, and ways to clarify values and goals. The goal is to reduce overwhelm and make daily life more manageable.
Christi brings experience supporting people after trauma and abuse, and she has worked with clients who face neurodevelopmental differences, chronic health challenges, and caregiving stress. She also assists people navigating attachment and relationship wounds, abandonment issues, blended family concerns, and complicated grief.
People who choose to work with Christi can expect a supportive listener who offers clear options and practical tools. She invites clients to take the lead on goals and to move at a pace that feels right for them.
Approaches that guide online work and real-life change
Christi uses methods that help people notice what matters and change patterns that cause pain. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines mindfulness and values work to help people commit to meaningful actions even when feelings are hard. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments. This approach offers clear steps for reducing anxiety, improving mood, and changing habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can help when trust, abandonment, or relationship wounds are central concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christi will collaborate with each person to match methods to goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She adapts tools over time rather than sticking to a single model.
