Christi Fields , LCSW

Christi Fields is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 10 years of experience offering counseling, clinical case management, and parenting psycho-education. She has worked with individuals and families across a range of situations, including matters that involved court-related, criminal justice, or child welfare systems. Her clinical work includes support for people navigating depression, anxiety, shame, anger, and grief, as well as experience with trauma, domestic violence, substance use, homelessness, divorce and separation, family and parenting challenges, and employment-related concerns.

Her practice is grounded in client self-determination and empowerment, with an emphasis on non-judgmental care and a harm-reduction perspective. Rather than pursuing perfection, she focuses on practical steps that align with each person's values and a realistic sense of what is "good enough." Using a Person-in-Environment approach, she integrates short-term, practical methods drawn from Client-Centered, Solution-Focused, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify goals and build workable strategies. Christi aims to collaborate with clients to create a clearer path toward the life experience they want to achieve.

She looks forward to supporting individuals and families as they work toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christi Fields uses several practical, client-focused approaches to support change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, creating space for clients to lead conversations about what matters most and to build confidence and self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress or mood challenges and teaches concrete skills to test and change those patterns. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach designed to strengthen a person’s own motivation to make changes, which can be especially helpful when facing ambivalence about substance use, habits, or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christi collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress unfolds and priorities shift.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow people to fit sessions around work, family, and other commitments, continue care during life changes, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for talking through concerns and practicing new skills.
