About Chris

Chris Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She works with teenagers and adults and focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and ADHD. Chris also addresses blended family issues among several other relationship and personality concerns.

She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on the problem at hand and on skills that reduce overwhelm. She listens to what matters to each person and helps them identify clear next steps rather than long theoretical discussions.

Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive and behavioral tools. That means clients lead the conversation while learning specific strategies to change thoughts or behavior that get in the way. Chris also uses elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotions run high or patterns feel stuck.

Expect work on communication patterns, boundary setting, and managing intense emotions like anger or shame. For parents and stepparents she will help untangle loyalty conflicts and practical routines in blended households without giving legal or custody advice. Sessions include skill practice, short check-ins on progress, and planning realistic next steps for daily life.

Her style aims to increase self-awareness and to make coping strategies usable between sessions. People come away with clearer choices and small, concrete actions to try at home.

Approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that align with personal values. It helps when people are stuck avoiding painful emotions and want a clearer sense of what matters day to day.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and to build new routines that reduce anxiety and low mood.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective. The therapist follows the client's lead, clarifies goals, and supports skill-building chosen together.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chris will review options with each person and together decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can change over time as problems evolve or new priorities appear.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, and caregiving. They can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or remove the need to be on camera if preferred. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. The focus is on practical strategies that transfer into everyday blended household life.
