Hello, I'm Kristi James, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I specialize in using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help individuals challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. My practice focuses on supporting clients in managing anxiety, depression, and life transitions, helping them build healthier coping strategies for lasting change. My communication style is warm, empathetic, and collaborative. In sessions, I aim to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to express themselves openly. Working with me feels like a partnership, where we explore your challenges together, while I offer guidance and tools to help you reach your goals. When setting goals with clients, I take a collaborative and individualized approach. Together, we explore your unique needs, values, and priorities to identify meaningful and attainable goals. I often use the SMART framework (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) to ensure that goals are clear and actionable.
