Christi Fields

Christi Fields is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 10 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and the everyday strain of parenting. Christi also supports those facing relationship and family problems, grief, trauma, and issues tied to intellectual disability. She uses straightforward, practical methods and talks in plain language. Christi’s approach centers on client choice and empowerment. She takes a non-judgmental, harm-reduction stance and works toward what each person considers “good enough.” Sessions combine short-term, goal-focused work with attention to the wider life context, using methods that aim for clear steps and measurable change. In practice she draws from Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the client, and from Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, useful changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice patterns of thought and behavior that get in the way, and Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is weighing change. Christi has worked in settings that included court-related, criminal justice, and child welfare involvement, as well as with people experiencing homelessness and substance-related issues. That background informs a pragmatic, real-world view of problems and solutions. She offers parenting psycho-education and clinical case management alongside counseling when those services fit a person’s goals. Christi practices in New Mexico and conducts sessions in English.

How these approaches work for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and priorities, with the therapist following what matters most in each session and offering support without judgment. It is useful when someone needs a space to sort feelings and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. In sessions a person learns practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and test small behavior changes, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood swings. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting as work progresses. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing quicker check-ins around work or parenting.
