Background and approach

Conversations are geared toward realistic steps that reduce overwhelm and build confidence. Her background includes a Master of Social Work and current work toward a Doctorate in Social Work, with an expected completion date in 2026. Christine is licensed in Texas - TX LCSW 69597 - and offers services in English for people located in Texas.

In practice she uses evidence-based techniques tailored to the individual. Sessions can include ways to manage anxious thinking, build communication skills, and handle major life shifts. The aim is to leave people with tools they can use between meetings.

Appointments are available through multiple online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Therapy is offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

Approaches and online care that fit your life

Christine uses practical, evidence-based techniques that are explained plainly and used to solve day-to-day problems. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with simple behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and increase confidence. Mindfulness-based practices teach short, focused exercises to lower stress and bring attention back to the present moment during difficult times. Narrative-informed work helps people tell and rewrite their life stories so they can separate from limiting beliefs and build a clearer sense of self.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine will talk with you about your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as you progress. Clients have input throughout, and treatment is tailored rather than fixed in advance.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you work face-to-face when visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief check-ins and flexible communication between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and busy schedules while keeping consistent progress.
