Lara Christian , LPC

Lara Christian is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about their next steps. Lara often supports those seeking clarity, direction, and renewed momentum in life.

She has worked in intensive inpatient and outpatient settings, so she is familiar with both higher-intensity care and ongoing outpatient support. Many clients come with stress, anxiety, sleep struggles, low self-esteem, depression, or difficulties with addictive behaviors. She also addresses issues such as emptiness, forgiveness, impulsivity, loneliness, life purpose, mood and panic symptoms, social anxiety, young adult concerns, and women's issues.

Lara describes her approach as collaborative and direct. Sessions often begin with listening and understanding what matters most to a person. From there she helps clients identify small, practical steps to try between sessions so progress can build steadily over time.

Her background includes work with brain-focused tools such as QEEG brain mapping and neurofeedback, which influence how she thinks about emotion regulation and habits. For clients who request it, Lara can integrate a biblical perspective into sessions. She aims to support clarity, resilience, and forward movement rather than dependence on therapy.

People who choose her can expect straightforward conversation, practical suggestions, and ongoing attention to daily choices that shape change.

Approaches that guide online care

Her practice draws on brain-informed approaches and pragmatic, step-based therapy. Brain-informed work looks at how habits and emotional reactions connect to brain patterns and can help when someone struggles with strong emotions, sleep disruption, or impulsive behavior. Practical step-based therapy focuses on small, achievable tasks between sessions to reduce overwhelm and build steady progress for anxiety, low mood, and life-direction concerns.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what works for the person.

Online care is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let people maintain face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent contact as changes take shape.
