About Christa
Christa Martin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years of experience in Mississippi. She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, social anxiety and phobia, panic, depression, and trauma-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family problems, addiction, grief, parenting strain, and career or money-related stress.
Her sessions are practical and straightforward. She uses methods like cognitive behavioral techniques to look at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She brings mindfulness practices to help slow racing thoughts and calm the body. She also uses solution-focused work to set clear, manageable steps between meetings.
Christa has worked with veterans and first responders and understands the pressure those roles can bring. That background informs how she plans sessions and sets realistic goals. She pays attention to how life events, work stress, and financial strain affect daily functioning.
In sessions she blends several approaches rather than following a single method. For someone with social anxiety, that might mean building small exposure steps, practicing new ways of thinking, and adding short mindfulness exercises. For trauma-related concerns she may include processing techniques alongside grounding skills to manage strong reactions.
Christa’s work is aimed at helping people develop coping skills and clear next steps. People who want practical tools and steady guidance tend to find her approach helpful. She works in English and practices in Mississippi as an LPC.
Therapeutic approaches used during online sessions
Christa draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can be useful for social anxiety and panic by breaking situations into small steps and practicing new responses. She also uses mindfulness techniques to teach brief breathing and attention exercises that reduce physiological arousal and help people slow down during stressful moments.Another approach she may use is emotionally focused work to help name and understand strong feelings and how they affect communication. For trauma-related issues she sometimes integrates processing-oriented methods alongside grounding strategies so intense memories can be approached more manageably. Choosing which approaches to use is collaborative and based on what the person wants to work on and how they respond in early sessions.
Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not specify exact online or in-person options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family time, allow quicker check-ins when needed, and remove commute time. Therapists and licensed professionals can adapt exercises to video or phone sessions, use shorter check-ins when days are busy, and plan exposures that fit a person’s daily routine.
