About Christine
Christine Mendez is an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor, and an LMHC, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, practicing with 13 years of experience in Texas. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, and grief. She also supports people facing family of origin issues and problems with intimacy, self-esteem, or life transitions.
She frames clients as the experts on their own stories. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Christine listens for repeated patterns that came from early family roles and helps people notice how those patterns show up now.
Her approach draws from several evidence-informed methods. Christine uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She integrates acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live by their values even when feelings are difficult.
Christine also incorporates client-centered ways of working and some skills from dialectical behavior therapy for managing intense emotions. She pays attention to attachment and family history when it helps explain current struggles without assigning blame.
People who meet with her typically work on concrete problems like sleeping, eating, or coping with work stress, and on longer-standing patterns such as avoidance, codependency, or communication problems. She encourages practical experiments between sessions and regular review of progress.

How Christine uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting locked into them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. This can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses experiments and behavior changes to reduce unhelpful patterns like sleep disruption or negative self-talk. This approach is practical and often uses homework between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss different methods and collaborate with each person to pick strategies that fit their goals and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress or new obstacles emerge.
The biography does not list specific online session formats. Confirm which session options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use breaks or evenings more easily. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for remote sessions so practical skill-building continues between meetings.
