About Christi
Christi Fields is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or the challenges of parenting. Christi also supports those struggling with addiction, relationship and family problems, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem or anger issues.
Christi uses a straightforward, non-judgmental style. She focuses on what a person wants to change and works with them to find practical steps.
Background and approach
Sessions include counseling, clinical case management, and parenting psycho-education when helpful. Her approach centers on client self-determination and harm reduction. Christi aims for progress that feels realistic rather than perfect.
She uses elements of Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to build plans that match each person’s life and values. Christi has worked in settings that involved court, criminal justice, and child welfare systems. That background gives her experience with divorce, child welfare concerns, homelessness, and related stressors.
She also brings experience supporting people dealing with domestic violence and substance use. Clients can expect a practical, collaborative tone. Sessions focus on concrete strategies, coaching, and making changes that fit day-to-day life.
Christi practices in New Mexico and provides services in English.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s choices and priorities first. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what matters to the client, and adapts sessions to fit the client’s goals and pace. It helps when someone needs support that respects their values and wants to steer their own change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions often include small, practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and to change behaviors that keep problems going. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with daily stress.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work together with each person to decide whether Client-Centered work, CBT, or a mix makes the most sense. Treatment plans are shaped by the individual’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than a fixed method.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and more in-depth conversation. Phone sessions can be a good lower-tech option or easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins, coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other daily responsibilities.
