About Christine

Christine Jacobsen is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and eating and food-related issues. She brings a practical, person-centered style to sessions and aims to create a space where clients can talk through immediate concerns and everyday struggles.

She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen carefully and follow each person’s lead. Christine also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Those approaches are used to address mood concerns, panic, trauma aftermath, and relationship stress among other issues.

Christine has 11 years of experience working in clinical settings. That background includes work with mood disorders, ADHD, addictions, grief, and compassion fatigue. She also has experience supporting people facing life transitions such as divorce, career shifts, and postpartum changes.

In sessions she focuses on concrete goals and steps. She helps people build coping skills, manage intense emotions, and approach eating and sleeping difficulties with practical strategies. Conversations may include problem-solving, behavioral experiments, and planning small changes that fit daily life.

People who come to Christine can expect a straightforward, empathetic approach. She works in English and practices in Texas. If you are considering therapy, she recommends starting with a short intake to match goals and plan next steps.

How Christine Uses Client-Centered and CBT Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding each person's experience, and adapting the pace to fit their needs. It helps when someone needs acceptance, clearer self-understanding, and a therapist who follows their concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and testing new ways of responding. CBT is often useful for anxiety, panic, mood shifts, and managing unhelpful habits tied to eating or sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust them over time based on what is helpful. This collaborative process helps shape sessions around real-life needs.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. The practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into a busy day, reducing travel time, and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Remote sessions can also make it easier to follow up on homework between meetings and practice new skills in everyday settings.
