About Christine
Christine Kobes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and major life changes. She works in a direct, down-to-earth way and aims to make sessions feel approachable. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on small, practical steps forward.
She creates space for honest talk and emotional safety. Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit each person’s needs. Christine listens for strengths and patterns, then helps people try different ways of coping and communicating.
Background and approach
Her approach draws from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she pays attention to personal values and relationships while also helping people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas guide short-term goals and changes.
Christine has eight years of clinical experience and holds a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Houston. She practices in Texas as a LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and combines broad clinical experience with a practical focus on life problems. Sessions tend to emphasize clear steps people can use between meetings.
That might be a small experiment at work, a new way to set a boundary, or a short practice to ease anxiety. The overall aim is steadier coping and clearer direction, not quick fixes. People who prefer straightforward, collaborative therapy often find this style useful.
Christine meets people where they are and helps them build on what already works in their lives.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. The therapist follows what matters most to the person, reflects feelings, and helps people make their own choices; this approach is useful for emotional pain, life purpose questions, and women's issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice thoughts, test whether they are accurate, and try new behaviors. It is practical for anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and stress because it breaks problems into small, manageable steps.
Christine treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will work with each person to choose which methods to try first, adjust them over time, and set clear short-term goals. The process is based on needs, goals, and personal preferences rather than a fixed plan.
Online formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions are a good option when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, and ongoing support between sessions. These options increase flexibility and help people continue treatment in ways that match their day-to-day routine.
