About Christine
Christine Mendez is a licensed professional counselor in Texas with thirteen years of clinical experience. She draws on her LPC and LMHC credentials to create steady, practical support for people facing hard moments. She aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone worried or unsure.
Christine focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and grief. She also helps people with intimacy and relationship concerns, self-esteem, career challenges, sleep and eating problems, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Her work includes attention to trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related difficulties. Her approach blends several methods to fit each person's needs. Christine uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take workable steps.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems in place. Sessions are practical and conversational. Christine listens first, then helps set clear goals and small, doable actions.
She emphasizes strengths and realistic change rather than quick fixes. People connect with her for a steady, down-to-earth style. She encourages collaboration and pacing that respects where someone is now.
Christine aims to help people feel more able to manage day-to-day demands and make choices that match what matters to them.
How Christine’s approaches translate to online care
Christine commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying what matters and taking small, values-driven steps even when feelings are difficult, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, useful for stress, mood, and some eating or sleep concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine will review concerns, goals, and preferences with each person and suggest one or a blend of methods. Together they decide what to try first and adjust based on what feels useful over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging allows shorter, ongoing exchanges between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on meaningful progress.
