About Christyn
Christyn Jaap is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of counseling experience. She has a background in school settings, including eight years as a teacher, coach, and school counselor. Christyn lists relationship, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, family, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, parenting, career, bipolar disorder, and ADHD among her focus areas.
Christyn prefers a straightforward, person-centered way of working. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps to manage emotions and daily challenges.
Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and elements of Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing. She also uses parts of the Gottman Method where relationship patterns are relevant. This combination is used to address thinking patterns, day-to-day coping, and improving communication.
Christyn draws on her school experience when supporting people who are juggling parenting, career, and family stress. She talks through what is getting in the way and helps make manageable changes. Conversations can include skill-building, problem-solving, and reflecting on past experiences that still affect present behavior.
Practical matters such as finances and life transitions are part of the work when they come up. Christyn aims to help people notice small shifts that add up to clearer thinking and steadier routines. To get started, follow the site's matching process and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches you can use in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people name what matters most. It supports self-reflection and identifying strengths to guide change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. The Gottman Method concentrates on communication and interaction patterns that affect close relationships and can be used when relationship issues are a central concern.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Christyn will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That conversation usually happens in early sessions and may change as work progresses.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or parenting responsibilities. Some formats may be shorter check-ins, easier to join without video, or scheduled at times that reduce travel and time off work. Confirm current session options when you schedule so you can pick what fits your routine.
