About Christine

Christine Jacobsen is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas who uses person-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches. She focuses on practical ways to manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and self-esteem. Christine also works with people facing career pressures, addiction challenges, and men’s wellbeing concerns.

She aims to make sessions straightforward and goal oriented. Christine helps people set short-term steps and longer-term goals that match their life and values. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening now and what can be changed in daily life.

Her background includes work across outpatient and inpatient settings and many years supporting people with mood and trauma-related issues. Christine has experience with ADHD, bipolar disorder, grief, and eating and sleeping concerns. She also has worked with people dealing with family of origin issues, divorce and separation, and isolation or loneliness.

In sessions she blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques that test patterns of thinking and behavior. That mix is used to help people reduce symptoms and build skills for everyday challenges. Christine explains ideas plainly and practices with concrete exercises clients can try between meetings.

People who want to get started are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule appointments according to availability. The approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own answers. In an online setting this means the therapist prioritizes understanding a client’s concerns and supports them in setting personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replaces them with practical experiments and new skills. Online sessions often use the same short exercises and homework that would happen in person, applied to daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation helps decide how much emphasis to place on listening, skills practice, or problem-focused strategies.

The practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. It can make it easier to attend regular check-ins and to practice skills between meetings. Because specific session formats were not listed in the biography, confirm the available options when booking so you know whether sessions are offered by video, phone, or another method.
