Dr. Christi Brown , LPC

Dr. Christi Brown is a seasoned therapist who brings a doctoral-level background in addiction psychology together with extensive clinical experience to support people facing substance use, mood, and relationship challenges. She holds a Ph.D. in addiction psychology - a research and clinical doctorate focused on addictive behaviors - and is credentialed as a Licensed Addictions Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).

With 21 years of counseling, coaching, and supervising other therapists, she works across a wide range of concerns including substance use disorders, mood disorders, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues related to family dynamics and parenting. Her practice also addresses LGBT concerns, body image, self-esteem, anger and impulse control, and co-occurring conditions such as ADHD and bipolar-related concerns. She incorporates knowledge of nutrition and integrative medicine in mental health alongside spiritual counseling when relevant to a clientâs goals.

Dr. Brown draws on several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each personâs needs, aiming to help clients build healthier relationships, manage stress and cravings, and find practical coping strategies during life transitions. She is committed to culturally responsive work and to helping people from diverse backgrounds heal, grow, and pursue more fulfilling lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Virtual Care

Dr. Brown uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence present-day connection patterns and emotional responses. This approach helps people understand attachment styles and improve intimacy, trust, and security in relationships.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that empowers clients to discover their own solutions and grow at their own pace. This method is useful for people seeking greater self-understanding and autonomy.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core approach Dr. Brown employs. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors related to anxiety, depression, cravings, and stress, offering practical strategies for symptom management.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative work Dr. Brown does with each person. She will help assess goals, preferences, and needs and adapt methods so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, let people participate from their own environments, and support consistent engagement even when life is busy or geographically constrained. Licensed professionals can apply the same therapeutic tools and skills effectively in virtual formats to support progress and healing.
