About Christine

Christine Jeffries is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, and depression. Christine focuses on practical strategies that help people manage daily life and feel more in control.

She uses straightforward coping tools in sessions. These can include skills to reduce overwhelm, ways to improve communication, and methods to manage mood swings. Conversations are goal-focused and aim to build skills people can use between sessions.

Christine also pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns. She supports people affected by adoption and foster care history, blended family issues, or long-term caregiving stress. She listens for patterns that affect current relationships and helps people try new approaches.

People with chronic illness, cancer, or long-term pain may work on adjusting routines and managing the emotional load of illness. Christine helps with practical problem solving and pacing so health challenges interfere less with daily life.

For those facing life disruption after trauma or natural disaster, Christine offers ways to reduce reactivity and rebuild routine. She helps people cope with communication and control issues, codependency, and commitment worries as they move forward.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used in counseling include skills-based behavior work and structured problem solving. Skills-based behavior work teaches concrete actions and routines to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, which can help with mood swings, anxiety, and coping after trauma. Structured problem solving breaks larger issues into manageable steps and helps people try practical solutions for relationship or life stressors.

Another common approach is emotion-focused dialogue where the therapist helps a person name and track feelings, then links emotions to patterns of behavior. That work supports people managing grief, attachment struggles, or relationship conflict by making reactions easier to understand and change.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early sessions. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. Clients and the therapist review how techniques are working and adjust plans together over time.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can fit into a busy schedule by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or between commitments. It can also make shorter check-ins possible when needed and allow people to keep therapy going while relocating or managing health challenges.
