About Christi
Christi Erdman is an LPC ( Licensed Professional Counselor ) practicing in New Jersey with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people managing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship problems, low self-esteem, and ADHD-related challenges. Christi also addresses guilt and shame and the painful feelings that follow abandonment or attachment struggles.
Her work focuses on clear, practical conversation. Sessions look at how feelings like guilt or shame show up day to day. She helps clients name what they are carrying and sort out what feels most urgent to work on first.
Christi often guides people through communication and relationship patterns that keep problems repeating. She pays attention to codependency, control issues, blended family dynamics, and conflicts that come from separation or divorce. She also supports people exploring BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture without judgment.
When clients bring issues such as domestic violence, emptiness, forgiveness, or family conflict, she helps them identify steps that feel manageable. She frames work in short, concrete moves rather than abstract goals. That can include practicing new ways to set boundaries or shifting self-critical thoughts.
Her style is collaborative and person-centered. She works with adults navigating young adult and midlife transitions. Sessions proceed at a pace the client sets, focusing on practical skills and clearer thinking about relationships, identity, and daily stress.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Christi uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work in clear, practical ways. One common approach she often draws on focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and patterns. That kind of work helps when guilt, shame, or anxiety show up as harsh self-judgment or repetitive negative thinking. Another approach emphasizes relationships and attachment patterns, looking at how early or current connection troubles affect present relationships and emotional responses.Finding the best approach is collaborative. Christi discusses different methods with each client and chooses what fits current needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts pacing and techniques based on what a person finds most useful and workable in day-to-day life.

Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy schedule, avoiding travel time, or using shorter check-ins when life is hectic. Online work can also make it easier to practice communication skills or to reflect between sessions while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
