Christie Jacobus, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Christie

Christie Jacobus is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas who offers help with family and relationship concerns. She focuses on everyday struggles like communication problems, intimacy issues, parenting stress, and life changes. Christie uses straightforward, practical approaches so parents can find clearer next steps.

Her style is warm and cooperative, aiming to make conversations feel manageable for someone checking a phone between tasks. Christie pairs talk-based work with goal-focused techniques.

Background and approach

She often uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and build on what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps with mood, anxiety, and changing unhelpful thinking. She also draws from the Gottman Method for relationship skills and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals.

With 17 years of experience as a therapist, Christie brings steady clinical knowledge to sessions. She is licensed in Texas as LPC 61336. Sessions are offered in English and follow practical steps so families can try new skills between meetings.

Christie’s typical topics include stress, grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, eating and sleeping problems, bipolar and depression, ADHD, and parenting challenges. She also addresses blended family issues, caregiver stress, infertility concerns, and communication and commitment problems. Her work is aimed at helping clients find clearer patterns and workable changes.

People who choose Christie can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth process. She helps set small, specific goals and checks progress along the way. The focus is on usable tools and clearer relationships rather than long, abstract conversations.

Therapeutic approaches used in online family work

Christie commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on a person’s own priorities so families can talk through what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical steps to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christie will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and family rhythms. That might mean shifting between listening-focused sessions and skill-building sessions over time to see what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls let people read facial cues and practice relationship skills together. Phone sessions fit times when video is hard to arrange. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins and step-by-step support between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around school, work, and caregiving responsibilities.

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.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
