About Christie

Christie Jacobus, LPC, helps people facing relationship and family stresses, eating and body image concerns, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She focuses on practical steps that help clients feel steadier and more in control. Christie speaks plainly and aims to make therapy straightforward and usable for daily life.

She combines a client-centered outlook with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. The Gottman Method informs her work around intimacy and communication, offering concrete ways to repair connection and handle conflict. Solution-focused ideas help set short-term goals and build momentum quickly.

Christie’s background includes many years working in health and caregiving roles, which shapes how she supports people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, or compassion fatigue. She pays particular attention to how family history and blended family dynamics influence current relationships.

Her manner is compassionate and practical. Sessions typically involve listening, clarifying goals, and practicing new skills between meetings. Christie encourages small, manageable changes that add up over time.

The practice is located in Texas and services are provided in English. People considering therapy are invited to explore whether her down-to-earth style and focus on relationships, eating and body image concerns, and life transitions match their needs.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following each person's pace. In practice that means the therapist prioritizes understanding concerns and helping clients name their goals before offering strategies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce anxiety or lift mood. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and eating-related worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then shape sessions together. That collaboration helps tailor concrete exercises and communication tools to the client's life.

Session logistics and formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between obligations. Some formats also let clients choose shorter or phone-based sessions when that better fits a break at work or caregiving duties. Ask directly about which session types are currently offered and how they can best fit into everyday routines.
