About Chris

Chris Fischer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. He brings 20 years of experience in mental health, including more than a decade working in Texas. He focuses on supporting men and others facing common and complex life challenges.

He helps people dealing with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress. He also addresses addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, and struggles with self-esteem. Family relationship issues, communication problems, and caregiver stress are part of his work as well.

Chris uses a client-centered style that values each person’s experience. He listens, clarifies goals, and builds a plan designed around what the client needs most. Techniques are chosen to encourage practical change and better daily coping.

Among the approaches he draws on are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, plus Emotionally-Focused Therapy and EMDR when appropriate. He adapts methods to the situation rather than following a single formula.

Clients who meet with him can expect straightforward conversation, clear goals, and tools they can use between sessions. He aims to motivate and empower people to move toward healthier patterns and improved well-being.

To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and arrangements vary with location and timing.

How specific approaches translate to online work

Chris often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships through practical skills.

He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy for relationship and attachment concerns, helping people notice and change interaction patterns that cause pain. These approaches help with anxiety, mood disorders, trauma responses, and relationship struggles when adapted to a client’s goals.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about what they want to change and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Work is adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Some approaches also translate well to phone or video when those formats are available, and therapists can suggest small practical steps to keep progress between appointments.
