Christina Teel-Gonzales, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Christina

Christina Teel-Gonzales offers straightforward support for people dealing with family and parenting concerns and related stresses. She uses simple, practical conversation to help clients look at what is happening now and find clear steps forward. Her style is steady and direct, aimed at helping people reduce anxiety, manage life changes, and improve family relationships.

Christina is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC with 28 years of experience. She has worked with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career shifts, LGBT concerns, relationship strain, parenting, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Additional topics she has addressed include caregiver stress, grief and end-of-life issues, immigration concerns, and struggles around trust or commitment. Her training includes a master’s degree in Counseling and Guidance from Texas State University and a bachelor’s degree in Human Resource Management from the University of Texas. That mix of counseling and organizational background informs a practical approach to problem solving.

Christina works virtually and maintains a practice based in Texas. Sessions tend to focus on what clients want to change first, then build small, manageable steps toward those goals. She combines client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work to help people try ideas between sessions.

Outside of work she spends time with family and has lived and traveled abroad. That life experience contributes to a down-to-earth style that many clients find approachable and useful.

How Christina’s Approaches Translate to Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the client’s needs and goals, with the therapist following the client’s lead and offering empathy and reflection to clarify what matters most. This approach helps when clients need a calm space to sort priorities and feel heard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to test new ways of coping. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and problems that respond well to step-by-step practice between sessions.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on immediate goals and what works already, then builds solutions from those strengths. It often moves quickly to practical actions clients can try right away to see change.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily life constraints to choose approaches that fit. Together they will try strategies and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Online therapy makes these approaches flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home. Phone sessions suit people on the go. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins and ongoing coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to fit consistent work on family, parenting, and stress into a busy life.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
