Christi Clark

Christi Clark is an Ohio-based licensed independent social worker (LISW) with ten years of experience as a psychotherapist. She aims to make sessions calm and straightforward. Christi focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, or addiction find clearer next steps.

She keeps conversation relaxed and direct, so people can talk honestly without jargon. Christi says she listens with respect and supports clients with sensitivity and compassion. She avoids judging or labeling and works to help clients regain a sense of control and hope.

Christi uses several practical approaches, including Trauma-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques. In sessions she helps people notice patterns, name painful experiences, and try small changes that fit daily life.

Her background includes work with adults facing grief, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and mood or personality concerns. She has also supported people who experienced physical, emotional, or sexual abuse and those navigating adoption, caregiving, chronic illness, or relationship challenges.

Christi encourages people to take gradual steps toward better days. She works together with each person to set realistic goals and build skills that match their situation. When someone is ready to start, she focuses on steady progress and practical tools to move forward.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on helping people process painful or frightening experiences. It often involves gentle pacing and tools to manage strong emotions while putting the trauma into context.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by building small, value-based steps.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early connections affect current trust and closeness. It can help with relationship strain, parenting concerns, and rebuilding a sense of safety with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That choice can shift over time as needs change.

Confirm the specific online session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists can adapt exercises, homework, and emotion-regulation tools to work remotely so the work fits everyday life.
