Christie Jacobus , LPC

Christie Jacobus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship and family challenges, women’s issues, and life changes. Christie helps people address anxiety, depression, grief, caregiving strain, and difficulties with intimacy and communication.

Her style is warm and direct. Sessions usually focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings. She blends client-centered conversations with structured tools from cognitive behavioral therapy. Christie also uses the Gottman Method for relationship work and solution-focused steps for quick, actionable change.

Christie draws on years of experience in health and caregiving contexts when people bring concerns about chronic illness, caregiver stress, or first responder strain. She works with body image, eating and sleeping problems, and the emotional fallout of infertility, divorce, or midlife shifts. Bipolar disorder, ADHD, and trauma are also within her practice areas.

People meet her for help repairing communication, handling blended family issues, or coping with career and life-purpose questions. She aims to build skills for managing anger, improving self-esteem, and reducing everyday stress. Sessions are practical and paced to each person’s needs.

Christie conducts therapy in English and practices from Texas. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their schedule and comfort.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Client-centered therapy starts with the person in the room and focuses on listening, empathy, and helping someone find their own answers. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to talk through emotions and personal decisions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and managing mood shifts like those in bipolar presentations.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christie will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences, combining listening with targeted tools when that makes sense. The plan adjusts as needs change so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or caregiving roles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving days.
