About Christine

Christine Jacobsen is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety while also addressing depression, self-esteem, and life changes. Her manner is direct and practical, aimed at making therapy understandable and usable for day-to-day life.

She blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Sessions often focus on concrete steps - small goals, coping skills, and ways to handle triggers. The work is collaborative; clients set priorities and Christine helps build a plan to reach them.

Her background includes supporting people with trauma, grief, addiction concerns, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also works with worries tied to sleep, eating, parenting, career shifts, and compassion fatigue. Christine brings experience with mood concerns such as bipolar disorder, panic attacks, and postpartum depression.

Assessment and goal-setting are part of early sessions so treatment fits each person's situation. Over time she tracks progress and adapts strategies when needed. Christine values practical tools that can be used between sessions to reduce stress and improve daily functioning.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation, targeted coping techniques, and a focus on measurable steps. The approach is meant to help people feel more in control of anxiety and better able to face life changes and everyday pressures.

How Christine Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Client-centered therapy puts the client's needs and goals at the center of the work. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, follows the client's priorities, and adapts sessions to what matters most to the person. This approach suits people who want a collaborative, supportive space to talk through stressors.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical tools such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and short homework tasks to reduce anxiety and change patterns that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and tracking what helps over time.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people attend from quieter locations that suit them. Licensed professionals can tailor online sessions to focus on skill-building, problem solving, and step-by-step progress without promising a specific outcome.
