About Christyn
Christyn Jaap is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing anxiety, panic, relationship strain, grief, and low self-esteem. She brings five years of counseling experience to each session. Christyn aims to create a calm space where clients can talk about what matters most to them and find practical ways forward.
She draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s lead, and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and actions that keep problems going.
Background and approach
Christyn also incorporates mindfulness skills to reduce stress and moments of overwhelm. She works with people dealing with trauma, abuse, eating concerns, ADHD, mood challenges, obsessive thoughts, and intimacy-related worries. Before practicing as a counselor she spent eight years in schools as a teacher, coach, and school counselor.
That background shaped her skills in listening, clear communication, and helping people build daily routines that support wellbeing. Her school experience also informs how she explains difficult ideas in simple, concrete terms. Sessions focus on small, manageable steps that match a person’s goals.
Christyn helps clients notice patterns, try new behaviors, and then review what works. She supports people working through life changes such as separation, career shifts, or caregiving strain. Christyn offers video, phone, chat, and messaging formats so people can choose what fits their life.
Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort, with attention to strengths and real-world problem solving.
How her approaches work online
Christyn commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities so goals emerge from the person’s own story. It is helpful for people who need a supportive space to sort thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches clear strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, panic, and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christyn treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will adapt techniques based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly to see what is helping and adjusts the plan when necessary.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for conversations that benefit from visual cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free option is preferred. Live chat and messaging can fit quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
