About Christi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with six years of clinical practice. Christi Stephenson helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and career stress. Sessions focus on practical conversations and building strategies that fit everyday life.
Christi draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She listens for what is most pressing, then works with each person to set clear goals and steps. The tone in sessions is direct and respectful, with an emphasis on skills you can use between meetings.
Her experience includes work with issues linked to adoption and foster care, divorce and separation, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and phobia. She also addresses compassion fatigue, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. That range shapes how she prioritizes safety, routine, and gradual progress in therapy.
Christi trained and practices as an LCSW and uses that background to coordinate care and referrals when needed. She keeps sessions focused on immediate concerns while tracking longer term progress. People who come for help will find a steady, organized approach rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location. Confirm the current session formats and scheduling options before booking.

How Christi integrates evidence-based techniques in online work
Christi practices using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on measurable skills and changes. One common approach emphasizes cognitive strategies - identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and social fears. This approach helps with social anxiety, phobias, and worry. Another approach centers on trauma-informed methods that track symptoms, build coping skills, and pace processing so it does not become overwhelming. That work supports people facing post-traumatic stress, abuse histories, and the aftereffects of separation or adoption-related stress. Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Christi will talk through goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life, then recommend techniques to try. She adjusts plans over time based on what is helpful and what feels manageable for the client. Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful, and remove travel time. Many people use remote sessions to keep regular appointments around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities; discuss scheduling preferences when you complete the matching questionnaire.Sheet 3
