About Christie
Christie Jacobus is an LPC practicing in Texas who helps people with relationship and family concerns. She supports clients struggling with intimacy issues, communication problems, grief, anxiety, and stress.
Background and approach
Christie also works with people facing life changes, parenting strain, burnout, and challenges around body image or self-esteem. Christie draws on a mix of practical, task-focused methods and person-centered listening.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to make space for each person's story and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking. The Gottman Method is part of her toolkit for addressing communication and connection challenges.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and small, manageable changes. Christie helps clients break problems down into steps they can try between sessions.
She also pays attention to how caregiving responsibilities, chronic illness, or work stress affect mood and relationships. Christie has 17 years of experience as a licensed professional counselor.
She blends straightforward problem-solving with empathy so people leave sessions with concrete ideas to try. Her approach aims to reduce overwhelm and rebuild trust in relationships and in oneself.
People who reach out can expect practical strategies for communication, coping, and self-care. Christie encourages collaboration - setting goals together and tracking what helps.
She works in English and provides care to people located in Texas.
Online approaches for relationship and life challenges
Christie uses a few clear methods that translate well to online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client feels heard and respected; it helps people clarify values and make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions, offering concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful behavior patterns. The Gottman Method contributes tools for improving communication and rebuilding connection when relationships feel stuck.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. She adapts tools over time based on what is helping and what isn’t, so the plan evolves in collaboration with the client.
Online sessions offer several practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other for real-time conversation and exercises. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or follow-up between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health-related routines.
