Christi Fields

Christi Fields is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 10 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting challenges. Christi also supports those facing addiction, relationship strain, intimacy issues, and separation after divorce.

Her approach centers on each person’s goals and strengths. She uses a non-judgmental, harm-reduction attitude so progress can look realistic rather than perfect. Sessions emphasize practical steps people can try between meetings.

Christi blends Client-Centered Therapy with short-term methods like Solution-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She draws on motivational interviewing when people want help with change. This mix is used to address immediate problems and build coping skills over time.

Her background includes counseling, clinical case management, and parenting psycho-education. Christi has worked in settings that involved child welfare, criminal justice, and court-related matters, which informs how she thinks about systems around people.

People who come to her often want clear, doable strategies for everyday life. Christi prioritizes collaboration and helps clients decide what to try next. She works from New Mexico and offers services in English.

How selected approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says is most important. The therapist reflects feelings, asks about goals, and helps clients set the pace for change. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive, empathetic space to sort through decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and short homework tasks to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose techniques that match the client’s goals and preferences. That means trying methods, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time, and support steady follow-through on short homework tasks. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, while others use longer sessions for deeper work. Christi’s clinical approaches translate well to focused, goal-oriented work in remote settings when that format is chosen.
