About Chris
Chris Goetz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 16 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship problems, trauma, and grief. She also supports people handling issues around self-esteem, anger, eating concerns, bipolar disorder, and LGBTQ matters.
Chris begins by listening and getting a clear sense of what is most troubling. Sessions are collaborative and practical. She uses straightforward talk, reflection, and skills practice so people can try new ways of coping between visits.
Background and approach
Her background includes extensive work with trauma, emotional abuse, and co-occurring substance concerns. Chris has also worked with people affected by dissociation and personality struggles and supports those facing life changes such as separation, caregiving stress, or cancer-related challenges. Therapy draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, and motivational interviewing.
Those methods are mixed to match each person’s needs and pace, helping people manage symptoms and rebuild trust in relationships. Chris describes therapy as a partnership focused on uncovering root causes and shifting unhelpful patterns. She aims to help people find more stability and move toward the life they want, step by step.
How therapeutic approaches adapt to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape our feelings and reactions. In online sessions this looks like talking through past and current relationship patterns, noticing how attachments affect trust and closeness, and practicing new ways of connecting with others.Client-centered therapy centers on the person’s perspective. The therapist offers active listening, reflections, and acceptance so clients can explore their feelings at their own pace. This approach helps with grief, self-esteem, and finding direction when life feels stuck.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. Online CBT includes identifying thought patterns, testing ideas in daily life, and using short exercises between sessions to build new habits.
Choosing the right approach is part of care. Chris will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, values, and comfort with different ways of working. That collaboration guides how sessions are structured and which skills are emphasized.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want frequent brief check-ins, or need asynchronous support between appointments.
