About Christina
Christina Brooks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with eating and parenting challenges, career stress, and adjusting to major life changes. Christina presents a calm, respectful approach that aims to make starting therapy feel manageable.
She uses a conversational, client-centered style that puts the person's experience first. Sessions focus on listening, clarifying what matters most, and shaping goals together. Christina also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Christina has seven years of professional experience and works from principles that emphasize sensitivity and compassion. She adapts the pace and topics to each person, tailoring conversations and plans to fit specific needs. That practical flexibility helps when people face overlapping issues like caregiver stress, chronic illness, or postpartum struggles.
In sessions she will help people notice patterns, try small changes, and practice coping skills between meetings. She also addresses family of origin concerns, communication problems, and life purpose questions when these come up. The goal is clearer direction and more usable tools for everyday life.
People interested in starting are invited to complete the site intake steps so Christina can understand current needs and match on scheduling and services.
How these approaches are used in online work
Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps people shape goals that match their values and daily life. This approach is helpful for callers who want a supportive space to talk things through and decide next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress. Practically, it can involve tracking patterns, testing alternative thoughts, and trying small behavioral experiments between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve mood.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers specific skills for managing strong emotions and coping in crisis. Techniques include grounding, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with panic attacks, intense mood swings, or compassion fatigue.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best, based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That means plans can shift as progress is made or new issues arise.
Confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and use exercises or worksheets between meetings. These practical benefits help integrate therapy into everyday life without promising a specific format.
