About Christi

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Mexico with 10 years of experience, Christi Fields helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and substance use concerns. She works with clients facing trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, ADHD, and career or life transitions. Christi also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and fatherhood concerns.

Christi uses straightforward, practical approaches in sessions. She leans on Client-Centered methods to listen and understand each person’s goals. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy appear in shorter-term work aimed at specific changes.

Her practice emphasizes client self-determination and a harm-reduction perspective. That means working toward what the client calls “good enough” rather than perfection. Christi combines clinical counseling with elements of case management and parenting psychoeducation when those supports fit the situation.

Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps and manageable goals. People can expect to talk through current problems, try practical strategies, and track small changes over time. The approach is steady and problem-focused rather than theoretical.

Christi works in New Mexico and conducts sessions in English. She is not accepting international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches are used in online work

Christi commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in session. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and priorities; sessions concentrate on listening, reflecting, and helping clients define their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also incorporates Motivational Interviewing when people want help making a specific change. That approach uses guided conversation to clarify motivation and plan steps forward. Choosing which approach to use is collaborative - she works with clients to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single way of working.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by cutting travel time and allowing sessions during lunch breaks or between obligations. It can also accommodate shorter check-ins or work that does not require being on camera. Talk with Christi during the matching questionnaire and first session about how to schedule sessions that fit your routine.
