Dr. Christi BrownLPC

Dr. Christi Brown is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 21 years of experience in counseling and coaching. She holds a Ph.D. in addiction psychology and combines her background with practical strategies to help people navigate hard moments. She welcomes direct conversations about substance use, mood changes, grief, and stress. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Emotion-focused work is used when feelings need naming and processing. Clients often come with overlapping concerns such as addiction and mood disorders, or parenting strain alongside anger and shame. Dr. Brown pays attention to how physical health, nutrition, and spiritual values interact with mental health. She helps people build manageable skills for coping, emotion regulation, and communication. Dr. Brown has long experience supervising other clinicians and offering coaching-style guidance when needed. She is familiar with a wide range of issues including LGBT questions, trauma and abuse, bipolar mood patterns, ADHD, and problems that arise after natural or human-caused disasters. She practices in Louisiana and works in English. People interested in beginning therapy are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule a session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people who struggle with trust, closeness, or repeating relationship patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and process strong emotions so they can change how they relate to themselves and others.

The therapist treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will discuss goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. Clients and therapist check in together about what’s working and adjust the plan as needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow for quick check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let a person choose a quieter setting or avoid travel on a difficult day. Licensed professionals can use the same therapeutic tools online as in person, adapting exercises and skill-building to suit each person’s needs.
