Kristi LindleyLPC

Kristi Lindley is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 26 years of experience helping people through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. She supports those facing relationship strain, parenting and family challenges, eating and addiction concerns, and issues like ADHD and bipolar disorder. Her style is warm and interactive, and she aims to make it easier to talk about painful or confusing feelings.

Clients can expect a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings are heard. Conversations focus on practical steps and honest reflection rather than labels. Kristi encourages small, manageable changes that add up over time.

She blends a few evidence-informed approaches to match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and shift behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clearer values and committed action. Client-Centered work keeps sessions guided by the person's concerns and pace.

Kristi also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to build coping skills and quick problem-solving tools. This mix lets her tailor sessions for grief, family conflict, body image struggles, or addiction recovery. She works to make each plan realistic and relevant to daily life.

Kristi practices in Mississippi and communicates in English. She supports international clients as well and asks prospective clients to follow the usual scheduling steps to begin. If someone is ready to take a first step, she offers guidance and steady support through the process.

How Kristi’s approaches translate to online therapy

Kristi commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions that match those values, which can be useful for stress, grief, or life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and controllable routines.

She also uses Client-Centered methods that keep the person's concerns and pace front and center. That means the therapist listens, reflects, and follows the client's lead while offering tools when they fit. Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative; Kristi will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life demands.

The practical benefit of online work is fitting therapy into busy schedules and locations. Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to attend from the workplace, between errands, or when travel is difficult, and they can shorten commute time so people can focus on the conversation and skill practice without adding a long trip.
