About Christine
Christine Mendez is a licensed professional counselor who brings 13 years of clinical experience to her practice in Texas. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and relationship or intimacy questions. She respects each person's story and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
Christine favors clear, straightforward conversation in sessions. She listens first, then helps people name patterns that make life harder. She mixes skills training with empathy so clients leave with tools they can test between visits.
Background and approach
Her background includes work across mood concerns, trauma and grief, and challenges around identity and sexual orientation. Christine also addresses eating and sleeping struggles, ADHD, chronic health-related stress, and caregiver fatigue. She helps people navigate career transitions and the emotional impact of aging and life changes.
Therapeutic methods she uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to match approaches to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on concrete strategies, values-based choices, and stronger emotional understanding.
Christine communicates in English and practices under Texas LPC and Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor credentials. She offers flexible session formats like video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on the therapist’s availability.
How Christine’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. It’s useful for anxiety, low motivation, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It’s often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on identifying and processing key emotions to improve connection and self-understanding, which can help with relationship and intimacy concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine collaborates with each person to identify which method or combination fits their goals and preferences. That process may start with a few focused sessions to try techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people work face-to-face from another location. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or useful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing coaching-style exchanges and quick reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health routines while still using evidence-informed tools and reflective conversation.
