Kristi Lindley, LPC

Kristi Lindley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 26 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflicts, and eating or addiction issues. She works with people facing grief, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and life changes. Kristi aims to make the first step toward change feel less overwhelming. She offers steady support while people talk through what matters most to them.

Kristi creates a warm, interactive space where clients can speak openly without judgment. She treats people with respect and sensitivity and avoids stigmatizing labels. Conversations focus on the client’s goals and practical next steps rather than medical language.

Her approach mixes several methods tailored to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflecting so people feel understood. Solution-focused ideas keep sessions goal-oriented and actionable.

Kristi also uses mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help people notice difficult thoughts and stay connected to their values. She adapts the pace and tools to the situation, whether the focus is on coping skills, communication, or concrete behavior change.

Kristi practices in Mississippi and speaks English. She supports people dealing with a wide range of concerns, including abandonment, blended family challenges, body image, commitment or control issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, fertility stress, first responder issues, and feelings of guilt or shame. The work is collaborative and focused on practical steps toward a more manageable life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Kristi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and habit change and often focuses on concrete skills and small experiments.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people observe difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. These approaches center on values-based action and present-moment noticing, which can help with stress, grief, and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, offer shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so appointments are more practical. Licensed professionals can adapt behavioral exercises, thought records, and mindfulness practices to work well in scheduled sessions.
