Christi Erdman

Christi Erdman is a licensed professional counselor with ten years of experience helping people through hard seasons. She focuses on common concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and challenges related to ADHD. Christi works with people who are exploring identity, life purpose, and changes across young adulthood into midlife.

Her sessions are practical and collaborative. She listens for the patterns that keep someone stuck, then helps name those patterns and try different ways of responding. Conversations often address shame, guilt, abandonment wounds, and attachment issues in straightforward language so clients can use what they learn right away.

Christi also supports people dealing with communication problems, codependency, commitment worries, and blended family stress. She has experience talking through domestic violence, divorce and separation, and the emptiness that can follow big life shifts. She is comfortable discussing alternative relationship styles, including kink and BDSM, and the ways those dynamics affect feelings and boundaries.

People can expect a person-centered style that centers their goals. Sessions focus on small, manageable changes and building self-compassion. Christi encourages practical skills alongside reflection, so clients leave with steps they can try between sessions.

She practices in New Jersey and provides services in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect people to the right next step and schedule.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care

Christi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people change patterns and feel better in day-to-day life. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. This approach helps when worry or negative self-talk gets in the way of functioning.

Another approach attends to attachment and relational patterns by tracing how early relationships shape current reactions. That work helps people understand feelings of abandonment, codependency, and communication problems so they can try different responses in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Christi works together with each person to decide what methods match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress and new issues emerge.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to continue regular care and apply the same evidence-based techniques used in person.
