About Christi
Christi Erdman is a licensed professional counselor with ten years of experience helping people through hard moments. She works with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship problems, low self-esteem, and ADHD-related challenges. Christi focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions to feel steadier and more able to cope.
Her approach is warm and collaborative. She listens for patterns around abandonment, attachment, and codependency and helps clients name patterns that cause pain.
Background and approach
Sessions often include time to sort out communication problems, commitment worries, and control issues so people can try new ways of responding. Christi also supports people grappling with grief, separation, domestic violence effects, and the long-term impact of guilt and shame. She has experience talking with clients about blended family dynamics and the stresses that come from major life transitions.
She works with people exploring diverse relationship structures and kink or alternative sex culture concerns. In the room she focuses on clear goals and small experiments that can change everyday life. She helps clients build self-compassion and stronger boundaries.
Progress is treated as a team effort where both therapist and client try things, check results, and adjust the plan. Christi practices in New Jersey as an LPC, and she conducts sessions in English. To begin, prospective clients use the site Start Therapy process to match and schedule according to the therapist's availability.
How evidence-based approaches guide online therapy
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to help people manage symptoms and try new behaviors. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new thoughts; this helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical ways to shift day-to-day thinking. Another approach focuses on patterns in relationships and attachment; it helps people understand why they repeat certain reactions and then practice different responses to improve communication and connection.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That means setting aims together, trying an approach, and changing course if something is not working.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what options are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins on hectic days. It can also offer flexibility when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a session that uses less bandwidth. Discuss format and scheduling during the matching process to find what works best for your routine.
