About Christine
Christine Mendez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Texas. She brings 13 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship concerns. Christine emphasizes a respectful, strengths-based stance and encourages people to take the first step toward change.
She centers therapy on the person’s own goals and experience. Sessions focus on building practical skills for coping with day-to-day stress and on spotting patterns that keep problems stuck. Christine uses clear, straightforward language and aims to make therapy feel like a collaborative conversation rather than a lecture.
Her work often addresses grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating concerns, and career stress. She also supports people facing ADHD, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue, plus other struggles such as body image, commitment and communication problems. Christine pays attention to how past experiences like abandonment or adoption shape current relationships.
Therapeutic approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work. Those methods are mixed to fit the person in front of her rather than imposed as a rigid program.
Sessions are offered in English in Texas. The sign-up process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist availability. Christine notes that starting therapy takes courage and she acknowledges that step with respect and support.
How therapy methods translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It often helps with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by focusing on what matters and small steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches clear skills to change them, which can be useful for depression, anxiety, sleep, and eating concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding emotions in relationships and helping people express needs and build connection in healthier ways.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, challenges, and preferences, and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative process means methods can be blended and adjusted as needs evolve.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy schedules and fewer barriers to keeping regular appointments. Confirm the session formats offered before booking, since specific options are not listed in the profile. Many people find that short check-ins, video sessions, or phone conversations can make it simpler to maintain momentum between work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
