Kristi Ottis, MS, NCC, LPC
Assisting individuals and families to live happier, healthier, more fulfilling lives is a passion of mine. I have been providing individual counseling services for children, adolescents, and adults as well as family therapy since 2005. I have had the opportunity to gain clinical experience in a variety of settings including community mental health, an inpatient psychiatric hospital, and private practice.
My specialty areas include anxiety disorders, grief/loss, self-esteem, assertiveness training, emotional/verbal abuse, working with empaths, spirituality, life transitions, stress management, self-care, and depression.
The evidence-based practices I primarily utilize are Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, Mindfulness-based strategies along with a Strength-Based approach in helping my clients. Additional techniques, skills and approaches are used as well when they would be most effective for helping a client achieve their desired outcome. I look forward to working with you and your family to achieve your counseling goals.
I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Texas A&M University and my Master's degree in Counseling from the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). My professional membership includes the American Counseling Association (ACA).
