About Christi

Christi Fields is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of experience helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and addiction. She offers straightforward counseling and practical support for everyday struggles like grief, anger, relationship strain, and life transitions. Christi writes simply and listens closely to what matters most to each person.

Her work often includes parenting psycho-education and clinical case management. Christi has worked with people connected to the child welfare and criminal justice systems, and she has supported those facing homelessness, substance use, trauma, and domestic violence. She also helps with adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, and family-of-origin problems.

Christi’s approach centers on client self-determination and empowerment. She uses a harm-reduction mindset and focuses on what is realistically manageable rather than perfection. Sessions tend to be practical and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on small, achievable steps that fit a person’s life.

Her methods draw on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Those methods are used in short-term, integrated ways to address symptoms and daily challenges. Conversations in sessions are meant to feel respectful and nonjudgmental.

Christi practices in New Mexico and works in English. She has an LCSW credential and a decade of direct practice experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns. To begin, readers are invited to follow the site’s process for matching and scheduling a first appointment.

How Christi’s Approaches Work Online and in Practice

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The therapist creates space for clients to set goals and make choices based on their own values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and then practices alternative ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christi will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit those needs. That collaboration helps shape whether more practical, skills-based work or a gentler, supportive course of sessions is best.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time or allowing shorter check-ins on a tight schedule. It can also let people connect from different locations within the same region, and therapists can adapt techniques like CBT exercises and motivational interviewing to the online setting.
