About Kristi
Kristi Rachal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 23 years of experience. She helps people facing low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and stress from caregiving or work. Her style is down-to-earth and informal, with an emphasis on accountability and practical steps.
Kristi draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. Sessions aim to be straightforward and geared toward daily life. She prefers a conversational tone so clients feel at ease while working on concrete goals.
Her background includes work in prisons, hospitals, home health, and hospice, and she has experience with Veterans, active duty military, and LGBTQ+ concerns. She has provided counseling for anger management, addictions, sex offender treatment, and end-of-life support. This range informs a practical approach to complex situations.
In practice she focuses on building skills that people can use between sessions. That can mean short behavior experiments, thought records, mindfulness practices, or small goal-setting steps. She values collaboration and adjusts strategies to match what each person finds helpful.
