Christa Martin, LPC

Christa Martin is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She offers calm, straightforward support for people needing practical tools and steady guidance. Her style is compassionate and faith-informed, and she meets clients where they are in the moment.

Christa uses approaches that focus on skills and on processing past hurts. She blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness and emotion-focused work to help people manage symptoms and make clearer choices. She also uses EMDR for trauma-related memories when that fits a person's goals.

Her background includes seven years of clinical work with people affected by trauma, mood disorders, and substance concerns. Christa has worked with veterans and first responders and understands the pressures those roles can bring. She also supports people struggling with grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, and money worries.

In sessions she talks through specific challenges, helps build coping plans, and practices tools together so they can be used in daily life. The aim is to build resilience and reduce overwhelm through small, steady steps. She respects each person’s beliefs and tailors work to what feels meaningful for them.

Christa holds a master’s-level degree and is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Mississippi. People who choose her can expect direct, practical sessions focused on real-world change.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Christa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns because it focuses on clear steps and practice. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work through strong feelings and improve emotional balance in relationships and personal life. EMDR is included as a trauma-focused option to address distressing memories when that fits a client's goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christa will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and then choose or adapt methods together. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what actually helps the person in day-to-day life.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these methods in remote sessions to teach skills, practice coping strategies, and process difficult memories without asking you to come into an office.
