About Chris
Chris Jones is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can be heard and start to make sense of overwhelming feelings. Chris focuses on practical steps to reduce distress and help build a steadier day-to-day life.
She works with teenagers and adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and ADHD-related challenges. Chris also helps people navigate attachment and abandonment concerns, body image and codependency, and the stress that comes with caregiving or chronic health problems.
Background and approach
She aims to reset patterns that sabotage relationships and wellbeing. Chris blends person-centered listening with focused skills work. She centers the client as the expert on their life while offering strategies to increase self-awareness and coping.
Sessions include empathy and reflection alongside concrete tools to manage intense emotions and improve communication. Her approach is flexible and goal-oriented. Together she and the client set priorities, try practical techniques, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
The pace is collaborative and tuned to each person’s comfort level. Clients often come for help with persistent stress, mood shifts, anger, or effects of past abuse. Chris supports sorting through guilt, regret, or dissociation and helping people reclaim a clearer sense of themselves.
She encourages steady steps toward greater balance and resilience.
Approaches and how online sessions can help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where avoidance keeps someone from living the life they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, anger, and ADHD-related challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and shifting emotional responses, which can ease attachment wounds and improve how someone connects with others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chris will discuss these methods with each person and tailor techniques to goals and preferences. That process is collaborative - she listens, tries strategies, and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which adds flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls give face-to-face contact for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth needs, and messaging or live chat work well for brief check-ins or when a written thread helps track progress. These options make therapy more accessible for people in different time zones and life situations while retaining a focus on meaningful, practical work.
