About Christine
Christine Mendez is a licensed professional counselor and licensed mental health counselor practicing in Texas. She brings 13 years of clinical experience to meetings with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship problems, and mood difficulties. Christine speaks directly and kindly, and she focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.
Her sessions begin by listening to each person's story. Christine believes clients are the experts on their own lives.
Background and approach
She works with clients to identify strengths and realistic goals and then builds short-term plans to try in daily life. Her background includes work with trauma, grief, eating and sleeping issues, and challenges tied to caregiving and chronic illness. She also supports people managing attention differences, mood swings, and compassion fatigue.
Christine uses a mix of methods to match the problem at hand and the person in front of her. In the room she blends talk-based work with hands-on tools. That can mean learning new behavior skills, practicing emotion regulation, or clarifying values to guide decisions.
She keeps language plain and steps manageable so progress feels doable. Many people come for help with phobias, intimacy concerns, career stress, or parenting strain. Christine frames therapy as a collaborative process and checks in often to adjust the plan.
If someone wants a down-to-earth therapist who offers clear steps and steady support, she may be a good fit.
How Christine’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values even when they feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding core emotions and how they shape close relationships, which can help with intimacy and attachment concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest one or more methods to try. She checks progress regularly and adjusts the plan so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video lets people work more directly with body language and interaction. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, practicing skills between meetings, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
