About Christie
Christie Jacobus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 17 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, anger, anxiety, grief, stress, and major life changes. She also addresses concerns such as sleep and eating difficulties, parenting stress, self-esteem, and career worries.
Christie uses practical, conversational work in sessions. She listens for how patterns show up in daily life and then helps people try different ways of responding. That can mean practicing new communication skills, testing small behavior changes, or using short problem-solving experiments between sessions.
Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to keep the focus on the person's goals and what actually changes behavior. The Gottman Method informs her work on relationship communication and repair. Solution-Focused Therapy adds brief, goal-directed steps when people need faster momentum.
Christie is straightforward about coping tools. She helps people break down intense feelings, notice triggers, and build small routines that reduce escalation. Sessions often mix talking, skill practice, and planning practical next steps to try at home or work.
People come for help with blended family issues, caregiver stress, fertility and parenting concerns, chronic illness, and forgiveness work, among other topics. She works in English and bases care on someone’s current needs and priorities.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person’s concerns guide the work; online sessions use that same attention to help people clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then tests simple behavior changes; online sessions often use worksheets, between-session experiments, and check-ins to track progress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christie will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first based on current concerns and what feels practical. That collaborative process includes reviewing what has worked before and setting short, measurable goals together.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a workday or busy household. If you have questions about which session formats are offered, confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to keep momentum between sessions through emailed worksheets, brief check-ins, or planned exercises to practice in everyday settings.
