Christian Specks, LCSW

Christian Specks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with 14 years of experience. She draws on long work in social services and school settings to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and other life challenges. Christian writes plainly and focuses on practical changes people can use right away.

She uses cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered methods, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to help people sort thoughts and build new habits. Sessions emphasize clear goals and exercises between meetings. Conversation is direct and paced to each person's needs.

Christian also brings narrative and solution-focused tools to therapy, helping people reframe difficult stories and identify small steps forward. That can be helpful for grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, or coping with chronic illness. She pays attention to how past attachments and abandonment wounds show up now.

Work with her tends to center on real-world problems like sleep, eating, anger, career changes, or the challenges of caregiving. She supports people navigating school-related issues and disability concerns because of long experience in educational settings.

Sessions are offered in English and are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Christian aims to collaborate on practical plans you can try between sessions and adjust as needs change.

How Christian’s Approaches Work Online

Christian commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT sessions tend to include clear steps, homework exercises, and short-term plans for managing anxiety, sleep, or mood problems.

She also practices client-centered therapy, which means conversations focus on the person’s experience and pace. This approach is useful when someone needs a space to talk through feelings and decide their own next steps. Christian draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills when people need tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or improving communication.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Christian will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and collaborate on a plan that uses one or more methods above. She adapts techniques as progress is made and priorities change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates, coping checks, or ongoing support between longer sessions, which can fit around work or caregiving schedules.
