About Chris
Chris Fischer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 20 years of experience in mental health. He has spent over a decade working in Texas and prior years providing counseling in other states. He works with people facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, addictions, and related issues.
He focuses on clear, practical work in sessions. That can mean learning ways to manage anxiety, practicing skills to handle mood swings, or processing reactions after traumatic events. He uses established therapeutic methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EMDR, and the Gottman Method where those approaches fit the clients needs.
Chris describes his style as client-centered and respectful. He aims to design sessions around what the person wants to change and what feels doable for them. That may include short-term skills work, problem-focused planning, or longer conversations about patterns in relationships and family dynamics.
He has worked with people affected by grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating and body image struggles, parenting stress, and caregiver strain. He also supports those coping with complex medical or chronic illness issues alongside mental health needs.
People often come with practical pressures from work, school, money, and early-adulthood milestones. Chris helps them break those pressures into steps and develop skills to manage day-to-day life while addressing the deeper concerns that keep recurring.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT sessions typically include setting goals, trying small experiments between sessions, and practicing new skills. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and stress that come with early-adulthood transitions.EMDR is a method used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional charge. In a few focused sessions the therapist guides a person to revisit distressing memories while using specific bilateral stimulation; it can help when past events continue to affect daily life. EFT focuses on emotions and patterns in relationships, helping people identify and shift patterns that create distance or repeated conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your situation and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as goals become clearer.
The profile does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around classes, work shifts, or commuting. They also allow shorter check-ins when people need a quick review of skills, or longer sessions for deeper processing. Ask about how sessions are scheduled and how the format might fit your routine before your first meeting.
