About Christine
Christine Mendez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 13 years of clinical experience in Texas. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and other life changes. She also lists concerns related to trauma and abuse, intimacy, eating and sleeping issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She approaches sessions with straightforward conversation and practical strategies. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try manageable changes. She also uses Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused methods to listen for what matters most in a person’s relationships and feelings.
Christine often focuses on problems that touch family life, such as blended family stress, communication problems, abandonment and adoption-related concerns, caregiver strain, and parenting pressures. She works with issues that affect day-to-day household functioning like sleep, eating, anger, and career stress. Her stated aim is to build on clients’ existing strengths and skills rather than start from scratch.
Sessions tend to be practical and goal-oriented. People can expect to talk through recent events, identify specific patterns, and practice new behaviors between sessions. Christine highlights respect for the client’s perspective and a collaborative approach to setting goals.
She holds the credential LPC and the credential LMHC, with licensure noted in Texas. Sessions are offered in English. To begin, clients follow the platform process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
How Christine’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and testing new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and managing everyday stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on symptoms, goals, and what feels practical. That decision is revisited as progress is made, so techniques can change over time to match what helps most.
The biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm the available session types before booking so you know if video or phone options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy household schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively in remote sessions to practice skills, review homework, and talk through immediate concerns while adapting tools to everyday life.
