About Christi
Christi Fields is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Mexico with over 10 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, parenting, depression, addiction, relationship and family concerns, and issues connected to trauma, grief, anger, ADHD and self-esteem. Christi also lists blended family issues, adoption and foster care, and fatherhood issues among her focus areas.
Christi uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She centers the client's choices and applies a harm-reduction approach rather than chasing perfection. Conversations focus on what helps in daily life and on small, realistic changes that make routines and relationships easier to manage.
Her clinical approach mixes client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies. She also uses motivational interviewing to support behavior change. That combination is often applied in short-term work and in case management-style problem solving when needed.
Christi has experience working with situations that involve court, criminal justice, or child welfare systems. She has supported people facing homelessness, substance use, domestic violence, divorce and separation, and employment challenges. Her background includes parenting psycho-education alongside counseling.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Expect practical skills, clearer problem steps, and planning for next actions. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats through the therapist's booking flow.
How Christi’s approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you. It helps when you want someone to follow your priorities and support your choices rather than direct them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple exercises to shift patterns that cause distress. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and routines that get stuck.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christi will discuss your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust what you do based on what helps. The plan is collaborative and practical, with a focus on steps you can test between sessions.
The practical benefit of online work is fitting sessions into everyday life. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Once confirmed, online sessions can make it easier to schedule during a work break, avoid travel time, or have shorter check-in visits when you need them. Licensed professionals offering online care tend to use similar therapeutic tools as in-person sessions, applied to the problems you bring.
