About Kristi
Kristi Lindley is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 26 years of experience helping people handle stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family problems, parenting challenges, and issues with mood and substance use. She works with concerns like grief, trauma and abuse, eating and body image problems, ADHD, and life transitions. Her approach feels direct and compassionate.
She aims to make reaching out a little easier for a worried parent or adult who is tired and unsure where to start.
Background and approach
Her sessions are conversational and interactive. She listens first, then helps clients set small, clear goals. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based work to change unhelpful thinking and reduce avoidance.
Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are used to build everyday coping skills. Kristi emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and nonjudgment. She avoids labels that shame people and instead helps clients notice patterns that get in the way.
Conversations are tailored to each person’s needs and values so plans feel realistic and doable. She has supported people dealing with addiction, bipolar and depressive symptoms, anger, and parenting stress. She also addresses relationship and communication problems, blended family issues, and fertility-related stress.
Her experience includes long-term counseling and problem-focused short-term work. Kristi is based in Mississippi and offers services in English. She accepts international clients and works with people who want a mix of practical skill-building and personal reflection.
Her goal is to help people find steady ways to manage hard days and move toward clearer, calmer choices.

Practical approaches for online parenting and life work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting ruled by them and then take values-guided action. It can be useful for managing anxiety, parenting stress, and problems that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical experiments to change behaviors and mood. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping strategies for everyday stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the person’s own goals guide the work; this approach helps build self-esteem and clarity about choices.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit best for a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may combine techniques so short-term problem solving and deeper values work can happen together.
Online therapy lets people access consistent care with more flexibility. Video calls approximate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling around work, parenting, or a busy schedule while still focusing on practical skills and steady progress.
