About Christie

Christie Jacobus is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing relationship stress, family conflict, intimacy concerns, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Christie lists blended family issues among her additional focuses and often helps people dealing with stepfamily tensions and co-parenting questions.

She uses practical conversation and structured techniques rather than abstract theory. Sessions emphasize clearer communication, problem solving, and setting realistic next steps. Christie uses approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people reframe unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

Her background includes long experience in both mental health and caregiving contexts, which informs work with caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image concerns. She also addresses trauma and grief, and supports clients managing workplace stress and first-responder related strain.

Christie blends skill-building with reflective discussion. She may use Gottman Method elements for communication patterns and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals. Conversations typically move between understanding patterns and practicing specific skills to change them.

Sessions include straightforward feedback, homework when useful, and planning for real-life situations a client faces in their blended household. People looking for help with divorce and separation, family of origin issues, or midlife questions may find this practical approach helpful. Christie works in English and does not accept international clients.

How Christie integrates common approaches into online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can decide what matters most. It helps people clarify values, priorities, and how they want to act in their relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses simple exercises and experiments to change unhelpful thinking and to try new responses to stress and conflict.

The Gottman Method provides concrete tools for managing conflict and improving communication. It is useful for people who want step-by-step ways to talk about problems and rebuild trust in interactions.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Christie will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. She checks in and adjusts plans based on what helps in real life.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistency while working on blended household challenges.
