About Kristi

Kristi Meade is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, mood struggles, and low self-esteem. She speaks plainly and focuses on creating a calm space where clients can talk without judgment. Kristi has six years of professional experience and holds LPC credentials in Georgia.

Before moving into broader counseling work, Kristi spent much of her career in a crisis stabilization unit for mental health and substance use.

Background and approach

That work shaped her ability to respond calmly when feelings feel overwhelming. She uses that background to help people manage panic, mood swings, and addiction-related challenges. Her approach blends Narrative Therapy with practical strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Sessions often include talking through difficult memories, identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, and finding values-based steps forward. Kristi prioritizes collaboration and keeps goals grounded and manageable. Kristi also draws on Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused approaches to strengthen self-understanding and emotional connection.

She helps people build self-compassion, improve communication, and recover from grief or trauma. When parenting strain, career change, or isolation are part of the picture, she focuses on clear, usable tools. Kristi offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based sessions.

She encourages small steps and practical experiments between visits. Signing up starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.

Online session options

Using Narrative and Action-Focused Therapy Online

Kristi often uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their struggles, which can reduce shame and open new options for how to move forward. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she uses to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, clarify values, and take small committed steps that match what matters to them. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools when needed to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new behaviors. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristi collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She uses short experiments, homework, and check-ins to see what helps and adjusts the plan as needed. Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, sharing immediate reflections, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options help people fit counseling into busy lives and keep consistent progress.
