About Christine
Christine Mendez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Texas. She has 13 years of clinical experience supporting adults with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, and other life changes. Christine works with people who face grief, trauma, mood changes, and concerns around intimacy and self-esteem.
Her style is direct and practical. She treats the person in front of her rather than a label. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on skills a person can use between appointments. Christine encourages clients to notice their strengths and to try concrete steps that feel doable.
She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change troublesome patterns. Christine also uses tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when they fit a client's goals. These methods are used to address anxiety, depression, addiction-related behaviors, and difficulties around relationships and family roles.
Christine often helps people who are adapting to big life shifts - moving households, changing roles, or managing grief and caregiving stress. She can assist with stepfamily and blended family issues as part of those broader concerns. Work in sessions tends to include clearer communication, coping skills, and planning for everyday situations.
Sessions are held in English. Before booking, confirm the current session formats offered so arrangements match practical needs and schedules.
How Christine uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking action that lines up with what matters. It can help when anxiety, avoidance, or life changes get in the way of ordinary routines. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and behavior changes related to addictions or sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss options with each person and pick methods that match the client's needs, goals, and comfort level. This is a collaborative process where techniques are tried, reviewed, and adjusted as needed.
Confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it simpler to continue care during transitions, such as moving between households or adjusting to a new role in a blended family.
