About Kristi
Kristi Meade is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with six years of professional experience. She has worked extensively in crisis stabilization settings for mental health and substance abuse. Kristi lists stress, anxiety, addictions, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, and bipolar disorder among the concerns she helps people with.
Kristi's background includes several years in high-intensity clinical settings where quick assessment and practical support were needed. That work shaped a direct, practical approach to common problems such as panic, mood swings, and substance use. She draws on methods that help people notice patterns and build small changes that matter day to day.
In sessions she focuses on clear, collaborative steps rather than long explanations. Expect a mix of talking through what’s happening now and practicing specific skills to manage stress and anxiety. She uses mindfulness practices to slow down strong feelings and cognitive-behavioral techniques to test unhelpful thoughts.
Kristi also incorporates acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values. Emotionally-focused and client-centered work inform how she responds in the room, keeping the focus on the person in front of her. Her experience with substance use and crisis care informs how she supports people facing co-occurring problems.
She works in English and practices in Georgia. Before booking, confirm the current session formats and scheduling options to make sure they fit your needs.
Approaches you may work with in online sessions
Kristi uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety and to practice alternative ways of responding. CBT is useful for panic, worry, and unhelpful habits because it links thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with concrete exercises.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach grounding and attention skills that reduce reactivity. Mindfulness techniques are short practices you can use when anxiety rises. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she uses to help people clarify their values and take manageable steps toward them, even when difficult feelings remain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristi treats this as a collaborative process and will talk with the client about which methods fit their goals and daily life. She adjusts the mix of practical skills, reflective work, and behavioral experiments based on what the person wants to accomplish.
