About Christi
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience, based in the District of Columbia. Christi Venable helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She also focuses on caregiver stress, communication problems, loneliness, life purpose, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and building self-love.
Christi works from the view that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. In sessions she listens for those strengths and uses them to tackle current problems. She encourages practical steps alongside reflection so people can try small changes between meetings.
Her style centers on clear conversation and collaborative problem solving. She talks through what feels most urgent and breaks down goals into manageable actions. This can include learning coping skills for panic, practicing new ways to speak about family concerns, or identifying patterns that feed anxiety and low mood.
Christi's background includes over a decade of professional practice as an LPC. That experience has included supporting people after trauma and helping those who feel stuck by depression or chronic stress. She aims to help people name their priorities and build routines that support everyday functioning.
To begin, she asks people to reflect on what they most want to change. From there she and the person set short-term goals and check progress regularly. Sessions are practical and person-centered, with attention paid to both feelings and daily habits.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Christi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and healing from trauma. One approach helps people learn coping skills for anxiety and panic - it teaches breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to reduce intense reactions. Another approach focuses on trauma recovery by helping people make sense of painful events and build routines that reduce flashbacks and intrusive memories.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christi collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She reviews what has helped before, what feels manageable now, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits can help people maintain consistent work on goals while juggling daily responsibilities.
