About Christina
Christina Brooks, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas, has seven years of clinical experience. She works with people on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, eating and food-related issues, grief, intimacy-related problems, parenting strain, career questions, and depression. She also addresses compassion fatigue and life changes in straightforward, talk-based sessions.
Christina uses client-centered conversation as the base of her work. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and coping when feelings feel overwhelming.
Sessions focus on practical steps and real-life problems. Christina listens to what matters most and then tries interventions that fit the issue. She discusses tools for day-to-day coping, communication strategies, and ways to manage symptoms like panic or low mood.
She pays attention to family of origin themes, attachment patterns, and caregiver stress when those topics come up. Christina also supports people facing chronic illness, fertility and pregnancy-related concerns, postpartum mood changes, and challenges tied to eating and body image.
Conversations aim to be direct and helpful. The therapist asks about goals, tracks progress, and adjusts the approach as needed. People who want clear steps and practical skills for handling stress, relationships, or life transitions may find this style useful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-directed problem solving. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through relationship or parenting concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, panic, and depression and often includes homework between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It offers concrete techniques for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings become overwhelming.
Christina treats finding the right approach as a collaborative step. She will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. The choice of techniques is based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences rather than on a preset plan.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and reduce travel time. Ask about available session formats and times when you schedule the first appointment.
