About Lara
Lara Christian is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience. She has worked in inpatient and outpatient settings and regularly sees people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, confused, or worn down by life not matching their expectations.
She often helps people searching for clarity and direction. Many who come to her feel marginalized, overlooked, or unsure about next steps. She works in a way that is collaborative and direct, with an emphasis on practical steps between sessions.
Sessions typically begin with careful listening so clients can be clearly heard. From there she guides toward intentional steps and insights that build momentum over time. The focus is on developing clarity, stronger coping, and forward movement rather than dependence on therapy alone.
Her background includes experience with brain-based approaches, such as QEEG brain mapping and neurofeedback, which shapes how she thinks about emotion regulation, habits, and change. She can also integrate a biblical approach into sessions when clients request that perspective.
Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, sleep problems, low self-esteem, depression, and addictions. Additional areas of focus listed are emptiness, forgiveness, impulsivity, isolation or loneliness, life purpose, mood and panic disorders, social anxiety, women's issues, and young adult issues.
People seeking practical guidance for early-adult transitions often find the combination of listening, concrete steps, and brain-informed ideas helpful when figuring out what to try next.
Brain-informed and practical approaches for online work
Her background includes brain-based techniques such as QEEG brain mapping and neurofeedback. QEEG is a tool that looks at brain activity patterns and can help highlight areas linked to sleep, mood, or attention. Neurofeedback involves training patterns of brain activity over repeated sessions to support emotion regulation and habit change.She also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on listening, building coping skills, and setting small, doable steps between sessions. These approaches help with anxiety, sleep issues, impulsivity, and getting unstuck during life transitions. Deciding which technique to use is collaborative; the therapist will work with the client to match methods to goals, needs, and personal preference.
Confirm the current session formats before booking as the original biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. If a client prefers integrating faith perspectives, that can be included when requested. The focus is on practical ways to apply new skills between sessions and on making therapy compatible with everyday routines.
