Christi Fields, LCSW

Christi Fields is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 10 years of experience offering counseling, clinical case management, and parenting psycho-education. She has worked with individuals and families across systems that often include court-related, criminal justice, or child welfare involvement, bringing practical skills to complex life situations.

Her clinical experience spans a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, shame, anger, grief, trauma, domestic violence, substance use, homelessness, divorce and separation, family and parenting challenges, and employment-related stress. She also works with issues related to stress, addictions, LGBT concerns, intimacy and relationship struggles, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes, as well as adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, fatherhood issues, family of origin difficulties, intellectual disability, guilt, and shame.

Christi’s practice is grounded in client self-determination and empowerment. She approaches care through a non-judgmental, harm-reduction lens, prioritizing practical, sustainable change over perfection and helping clients identify what feels -good enough- for their lives. Using a Person-In-Environment perspective and a short-term, integrated application of Client-Centered, Solution-Focused, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy modalities, she collaborates with individuals and families to create realistic paths toward the life experiences they want. Christi looks forward to working with prospective clients and can be reached through the information on her website.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Christi integrates client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches to support change in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, non-judgmental relationship that helps individuals explore their values and goals while feeling heard and supported. This approach can be especially helpful for stress, relationship concerns, and self-esteem struggles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and coping difficulties. CBT offers practical tools and exercises that can be used between sessions to produce measurable progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christi works collaboratively with clients to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they may try different strategies and adjust the plan as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Christi is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible ways to engage from home or another convenient location. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access consistent support regardless of travel or local constraints.
