Chris Goetz, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Chris

Chris Goetz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and issues related to self-esteem and identity. She brings 16 years of clinical experience to sessions and often uses practical, skills-based methods to address immediate problems.

Her style is direct but warm, focusing on clear goals and steps clients can take between appointments.

Background and approach

Clients can expect straightforward conversation about their current struggles and patterns that keep problems repeating. She listens for how past attachments and losses affect present behavior and mood. Sessions often include techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to build coping skills and emotional regulation.

Chris draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to help people make sense of relationship patterns and repair connections. Motivational interviewing is used when change feels hard or stuck. She adapts methods to each person rather than following one fixed model.

Her background includes work with people affected by severe trauma, mood disorders, co-occurring substance issues, and eating concerns. She has experience addressing complex patterns such as dissociation, codependency, and family-of-origin problems. That experience informs a practical, paced approach to healing.

Therapy with Chris focuses on uncovering roots of distress, correcting harmful beliefs, and building tools for daily life. She partners with clients to set realistic goals and measure progress over time.

Approaches that translate to online care

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can explore those patterns through conversation and exercises that help reconnect and repair interpersonal habits. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and supporting the client’s own goals. In remote sessions the therapist offers reflective listening and gentle guidance so clients feel heard and can find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, uses clear steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In online work CBT is shared through worksheets, skill practice, and brief between-session tasks to build new routines.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, needs, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Adjustments are made as progress and challenges appear so treatment matches what actually helps.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving. The formats also allow for brief check-ins and skill coaching between longer sessions, which can help maintain momentum and support steady change.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
