About Christina
Christina Brooks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and eating concerns, and other challenges such as grief, parenting strain, and coping with life changes. Christina also focuses on family of origin issues and attachment-related patterns that keep people repeating the same behaviors.
Her style is straightforward and centered on the person in front of her. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical skills. She uses Client-Centered techniques to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for managing strong emotions and distress.
In the first meetings she helps clients identify patterns coming from their family of origin and how those patterns show up now. Conversations are aimed at noticing specific behaviors, testing new responses, and practicing skills between sessions. Work may include tracking thought-feeling-behavior links, building communication skills, and learning emotion regulation tools.
Christina has experience supporting people dealing with postpartum depression, compassion fatigue, chronic illness-related stress, and fertility concerns. She also assists with career questions, life purpose, and forgiveness work when those subjects relate to family patterns.
Therapy is conducted in English from her Texas practice. Clients are guided through a clear first-session plan and offered measurable steps to try before the next meeting.
Approaches used online and what they help with
Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and uses reflective listening to clarify feelings and priorities. It helps people who need a space to sort thoughts and decide what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, eating-related concerns, and changing repetitive reactions learned in childhood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can be helpful when strong reactions interfere with relationships or daily functioning.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try fitting methods to those goals, and adjust the plan as work progresses. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to emphasize based on needs and preferences.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow options that avoid travel. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistency while learning new ways of relating and coping.
