About Christi
Christi Fields is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Mexico with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, addiction, grief, and issues connected to family of origin. Christi also supports people dealing with anger, self-esteem, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and life transitions.
She has provided counseling, clinical case management, and parenting psycho-education in settings that have included court-related, criminal justice, and child welfare involvement. That background informs how she frames problems and practical steps for change. Her work includes experience with domestic violence, substance use, homelessness, adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, divorce and separation, fatherhood concerns, and intellectual disability.
Christi describes her approach as grounded in client self-determination and harm reduction. She focuses on what works for each person rather than aiming for perfection. Sessions often combine person-in-environment thinking with short-term, goal-oriented methods to make usable progress.
In practice she uses Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing in integrated ways. That means conversations about how thoughts and behaviors interact, setting small achievable steps, and checking what a client values as ‘‘good enough."
Christi practices in New Mexico and offers services in English. She asks prospective clients to use the site's matching tool to choose online therapy options, complete a short questionnaire, and schedule an initial session to begin.
How Christi integrates approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective, listening closely and prioritizing each person's own goals and values. It helps people clarify what matters to them and make choices that fit their life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress. CBT often helps with parenting challenges, mood concerns, and coping strategies for everyday problems.
Christi approaches deciding on methods collaboratively. She will review needs, preferences, and goals with each person and suggest which approaches to try first. Adjustments are made over time based on what works in sessions and in daily life.
