Christie Jacobus, LPC

Christie Jacobus is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on relationship and life-change concerns. She is direct and practical in sessions and helps people find clearer ways to communicate and cope. Christie draws on nearly two decades of clinical experience and a long history in health care to guide clients through stress, grief, and emotional overwhelm.

Christie uses straightforward tools to address anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and trauma. She helps people look at thinking patterns and daily routines that make problems worse and then practices small behavior changes that can feel more manageable. Sessions emphasize doable steps rather than abstract theory.

Her work also covers intimacy-related struggles, family-of-origin issues, blended family tensions, and separation or divorce concerns. Christie pays attention to caregiver strain, body image, and the emotional effects of chronic illness or caregiving roles. Conversations often include communication work and setting realistic goals for daily life.

Christie integrates Client-Centered ideas with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques and uses solution-focused thinking to keep sessions goal-oriented. She also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship communication skills when appropriate. The tone is collaborative and respectful, with an eye toward what each person can try between sessions.

Christie provides sessions in English and practices from Texas as an LPC. She aims to help people develop clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better patterns of connection and self-care.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own answers; it is useful for building self-understanding and emotional clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful routines. The Gottman Method emphasizes communication skills, conflict management, and improving everyday interactions for those working on relationship patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what methods feel most comfortable. That collaboration helps shape a plan that matches the client’s needs and practical circumstances.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make ongoing care easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls let people use facial cues and full conversations. Phone sessions can be a good option when internet bandwidth is low or when a check-in feels more convenient. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, quick problem solving, and follow-up between sessions. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on real skills and steady progress.
