About Chris

Chris Fischer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with more than 20 years in the mental health field. He offers a client-centered style that focuses on respect and listening first. He aims to design counseling around each person's needs to help them move toward practical change.

He has extensive experience helping people with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress, crisis situations, and victims of crime. He also addresses relationship and family concerns, grief, addictions, anger, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. Financial and money-related stress is one of the areas he lists among his focuses.

In sessions he uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and the Gottman Method. Those methods are blended to match what a person needs rather than following a single script.

His practice emphasizes collaboration: he works with people to set goals and build skills that fit their everyday lives. The counseling process is structured to be motivational and empowering, with concrete steps and strategies.

Chris welcomes conversations about how counseling might help you handle stress, trauma, relationship strain, or mood challenges. If you want to explore next steps, he guides people through an initial matching and scheduling process to begin therapy.

How targeted approaches translate to online care

Chris uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in ways that map well to focused online work. CBT breaks down unhelpful thoughts and builds practical skills for handling stress, anxiety, and mood problems. EMDR involves guided processing of traumatic memories and can be adapted into structured remote sessions when appropriate.

He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that people can practice between appointments. These approaches are described plainly and put into everyday tasks so clients can try new habits between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the first few appointments. The therapist works together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than insisting on one model. This collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels manageable and relevant.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break or remote sessions when travel is difficult. Talk with the therapist about what scheduling and session style will work best for daily routines.
