About Christine
Christine Mendez is an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor, and an LMHC, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, licensed in Texas. She brings 13 years of clinical work supporting adults with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and grief concerns. Christine focuses on practical help for people facing life changes and struggles that interfere with daily functioning.
She works in a collaborative, down-to-earth way. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills people can try between meetings. Conversations often cover coping tools for anxiety, ways to address addictive patterns, strategies for improving intimacy and relationship communication, and how to manage grief or major life transitions.
Christine uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and increase meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new behaviors. Client-Centered methods keep the conversation focused on the client's perspective.
People in early adulthood often contact her about career stress, starting and ending relationships, identity questions, and feeling behind peers. She also addresses ADHD, parenting stress, anger, body image, and caregiver strain. Christine will help identify small, practical steps to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.
Sessions take into account where a person is in life and what they want to change. The work usually combines talking through current problems with practicing new skills. Prospective clients should confirm session formats and scheduling options before booking.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Christine commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify personal values and take action toward them, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear. It can help with life transitions, low motivation, and persistent worry. CBT involves identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christine will work with each client to decide which methods match their goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress is made. This is a collaborative conversation that begins in early sessions and continues as needs change.
The therapist's profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work, or travel. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, and can reduce time spent commuting to appointments. Ask about the available session structure when scheduling so timing and practical details match everyday life.
