About Christine

Christine Jacobsen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who uses practical, down-to-earth methods to help families and parents. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to make therapy feel clear and useful. Christine keeps sessions focused on real problems parents face, like parenting stress, sleep and eating concerns, mood changes, and life transitions.

She has about 11 years of professional experience and works with a wide range of common concerns.

Background and approach

Those include anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, ADHD, and relationship and family problems. She also addresses issues such as postpartum depression, career changes, and compassion fatigue. In sessions she helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, try new coping skills, and set manageable goals.

Her style is collaborative and practical - clients work together to build steps they can use at home. The focus is on what changes will actually fit a family's routine and needs. Christine offers several online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and cost varies by location and therapist availability. To begin, a parent selects the Start Therapy button and completes a short matching questionnaire. After that they can schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability and preferred format.

How Christine’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each family’s experience. The therapist creates space for parents to talk through worries and priorities while guiding the conversation toward what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses simple exercises and experiments a parent can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage mood and eating concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with the parent to decide which methods fit the family’s goals and daily life. That means trying things out and adjusting the plan based on what helps.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let parents use therapy around busy schedules. These options make it easier to follow through on weekly steps, check in between sessions, and keep momentum during major life changes. Many families find the flexibility helps them stay consistent while managing childcare, work, and school routines.

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.
