About Christi

Christi Erdman is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in New Jersey with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship strain, self-esteem struggles, and ADHD-related challenges. Christi also addresses concerns around abandonment, attachment wounds, codependency, and the emotional fallout from separation and grief.

Clients often come when they feel stuck after a job change, a breakup, or during a difficult family shift. Christi focuses on practical next steps and steady supports rather than lofty promises. Sessions tend to involve clear conversations about current problems, patterns that keep repeating, and options for changing day-to-day habits.

She regularly helps people navigate communication problems, commitment worries, control issues, and the complex emotions linked to guilt and shame. Christi has experience talking with clients about blended family dynamics, domestic violence impacts, and forgiveness work. She also works with people exploring BDSM, kink, and alternate sexual cultures, aiming to reduce shame and increase honesty in relationships.

Her approach is collaborative and person-centered. That means she listens for what matters to each person, then works with them to try different strategies and track what helps. Christi supports clients who are sorting identity, life purpose, or the practical demands of parenting and work, offering steady, straightforward feedback.

Sessions are conducted in English from New Jersey. People who want to begin are invited to use the site matching tools to schedule an initial appointment and see which online therapy options fit their situation.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Christi draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common problems like anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and ADHD-related challenges. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns in thought and behavior and testing small changes in daily routines to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. This can be useful for managing stress, low mood, and attention-related difficulties.

Another approach centers on attachment and relational patterns. It involves mapping how past relationships shape current expectations and communication, then practicing clearer, more direct interaction skills to reduce conflict and loneliness. This is helpful for abandonment wounds, codependency, and commitment concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust methods as progress or new priorities emerge.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing appointments during breaks or from another quiet location. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and avoid needing to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to keep steady momentum between major life changes or during work and family transitions.
