Christina Brooks , LPC

Christina Brooks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on women's issues and a wide range of life stressors. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Christina also supports people coping with career stress, parenting challenges, eating and food-related issues, and major life changes.

She uses a straightforward, person-centered approach in sessions. Conversation is shaped around each person's needs and goals. Christina draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and on dialectical behavior strategies to build practical skills for emotion regulation.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what a person feels ready to try. Christina aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where clients can talk through pressing concerns and test new ways of coping. She emphasizes clear steps and small, achievable changes rather than lengthy theory talk.

With seven years of experience working in Texas, Christina has supported people through postpartum depression, panic attacks, chronic illness and caregiver stress, fertility and pregnancy-related concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes helping those dealing with family of origin conflicts and attachment questions.

Christina practices in English and offers several online formats to fit different schedules and needs. She expects to work with each person to choose what will be most useful, whether that is short skills coaching or a longer course of therapy focused on deeper life patterns.

Approaches in online care and what they do

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your perspective. A therapist using this approach offers empathic, nonjudgmental conversation and helps you set goals that feel meaningful and realistic for you.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small exercises to change reactions to stress, anxiety, or low mood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It can be useful for panic, overwhelming stress, and relationship friction by offering step-by-step strategies to cope in the moment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their goals and comfort level. That may mean starting with short skills sessions and shifting to deeper exploration if needed.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let you read facial cues and hold fuller conversations, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or hands-free time is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or follow-up between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and daily life while keeping focus on progress and skills practice.
