About Christa

Christa Martin, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Mississippi with seven years of experience. She works with people on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting, self-esteem, career issues, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She describes her approach as faith-informed counseling that combines practical strategies and talk-based work.

Martin uses a mix of methods to help people manage symptoms and solve problems. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at relationship dynamics. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma, mindfulness practices to reduce arousal, and solution-focused techniques for short-term goals.

Her background includes experience with first responders and veterans, and with people handling money or career stress. That work has shaped how she approaches problems that tie to work identity and high-pressure roles. She aims to combine practical skills with attention to personal beliefs.

Sessions typically involve talk, skills practice, and steps to try between meetings. Clients can expect to set concrete goals, practice coping strategies, and review progress over time. The therapist frames goals around daily functioning and problem solving.

Christa works in Mississippi and offers services in English. She notes that therapy takes effort outside sessions, and she encourages regular check-ins to adjust plans as needs change.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Christa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, mood problems, and everyday stressors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to look at how emotions shape interactions and relationships, helping people recognize patterns and try new ways of relating. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used for trauma and involves structured processing of distressing memories alongside therapist-guided techniques.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. Sessions can mix learning skills, talking through problems, and planning practical steps to try between meetings.

Session formats are not specified in her biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or after work. They can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and make it possible to continue work with a licensed professional when relocating within the supported state.
