Christi Clark, LISW

Christi Clark is an Independent Licensed Social Worker with 10 years of clinical experience in Ohio. She offers a calm, conversational style that helps people talk through hard things. Christi aims to offer respectful, compassionate care for those feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship struggles. She also supports those dealing with addictions, grief, parenting strain, LGBT issues, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Additional focuses include attachment concerns, adoption and foster care questions, chronic illness and caregiver stress, body image, and codependency.

Christi blends practical tools with thoughtful listening. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to shape sessions. That means she helps people notice thoughts, practice new skills, and strengthen emotional connections in ways that fit their daily life.

Her sessions tend to be relaxed and conversational. Christi emphasizes respect and sensitivity, avoiding judgment or labels. She works at the client’s pace and focuses on small, doable steps toward change.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session according to availability. Christi aims to empower people to make better tomorrows by combining practical strategies with steady support.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based actions. It’s useful when anxiety, avoidance, or life transitions get in the way of daily goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and practicing small changes that reduce distress and improve functioning. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and goals and then try methods that match those priorities. This is a collaborative process where strategies are adjusted based on what helps most.

Confirm the session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings, use audio-only if video is difficult, or schedule sessions around work or caregiving commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT techniques for remote sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings and track progress over time.
