About Christine
Christine Jacobsen is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and major life changes. Sessions address practical problems such as sleep and eating difficulties, addiction-related issues, and career questions.
She uses client-centered methods to build a collaborative working relationship. That approach focuses on listening, feedback, and helping people set their own goals. Christine also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and helps people try different responses in everyday life.
Her practice includes work on trauma and grief, intimacy-related issues, and mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and panic attacks. She also assists people coping with postpartum depression, abandonment concerns, and family-of-origin problems. Parenting stress and family conflict are described among her focus areas, so adults facing household strain often bring those concerns.
Christine draws on experience from outpatient and inpatient settings and has worked with veterans and people facing complex medical and behavioral issues. She aims to create clear goals and step-by-step plans clients can use between sessions. Techniques often include thought records, behavioral experiments, and plain spoken problem solving.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her work in Texas. People interested in exploring what a few sessions look like can follow the online steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches are used for online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building shared goals. Online sessions using this approach often involve the therapist reflecting what she hears and helping the client decide next steps. This is helpful for relationship strain, parenting stress, and general life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down patterns of thought and behavior. In sessions she may guide clients through thought records, behavioral experiments, and practical exercises to try between meetings. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and sleep or eating problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to emphasize based on goals, day-to-day needs, and what feels most useful. That choice can change over time as progress or new concerns appear.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. One practical advantage of online sessions is fitting therapy into a busy household schedule, such as shorter check-ins during a work break, fewer commute hours, or being able to meet when caring for children. Discussing preferred rhythms and practical constraints is part of the first meeting so sessions can fit into everyday life.
