About Kristi
Kristi Strickland, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and CSW, holds an Indiana LCSW and has three years of professional practice. She works on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, and coping with life changes using the methods she lists. She offers sessions in English and does not accept international clients.
Kristi uses a mix of practical, skills-based approaches. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Jungian Therapy to shape sessions. That means clients can expect focus on values, identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, emotion regulation, and personal meaning work.
She has experience helping people with autism spectrum concerns, avoidant personality traits, caregiver stress, communication problems, and adjustment after disaster or separation. She also addresses family of origin issues, intellectual disability, isolation, obsessions and compulsions, postpartum depression, and seasonal mood shifts.
Kristi emphasizes building coping skills and improving day-to-day functioning. She collaborates with other providers such as psychiatrists, primary care, and social service agencies when coordination is helpful. Sessions are described as flexible in format to accommodate how people prefer to interact.

Therapeutic approaches for remote sessions
Kristi uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take steps that matter to them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety and low mood.She also applies Client-Centered Therapy principles by listening closely and responding to each person’s perspective without directing the outcome. These approaches are practical and often focus on learning coping skills, improving emotion regulation, and working toward goals set together.
Finding the right approach is part of care. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can combine elements of ACT, CBT, and client-centered work over time as those needs evolve.
Session formats were described as flexible in the original biography, but current online session options should be confirmed before booking. Confirm which formats are available when you schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions occur more conveniently.
