About Christine

Christine Jacobsen is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career concerns, depression, and family-related issues including family of origin concerns.

She uses straightforward conversations to help people recognize patterns that started in childhood and still affect daily life. Sessions often look at relationships, expectations carried from family, and how those habits show up at work or in intimate relationships. Christine balances listening with practical steps people can try between sessions.

Her approach draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she focuses on the person’s point of view while also helping them test thoughts and try new behaviors. The work can include setting short-term goals, tracking thoughts and moods, and practicing different responses to stress.

Candidates for her practice include people coping with life changes, grief, addiction concerns, and challenges around intimacy or parenting. She also works with issues such as ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, anger, and mood disorders. Christine uses plain language in sessions and aims to make therapy understandable and manageable.

She has professional experience in outpatient and inpatient settings and has worked with veterans in clinical roles. Her background includes clinical research collaborations with medical centers in Texas. Clients interested in starting are invited to follow the site's booking flow to match and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening to the person’s experience and following their priorities. It involves reflective conversation, clarifying what matters most, and helping the person name feelings and goals. This approach is useful for exploring family roles and how they show up now.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and patterns. It uses short exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments to test assumptions. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, panic, and some relationship patterns that stem from earlier family expectations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking what helps and adjusting as work progresses rather than sticking to a single method.

The site describes the booking steps and matching process you will use to set up sessions. The therapist’s exact session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a weekday or a break, enable shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. These practical benefits can help people keep therapy consistent with daily life.
