Chris Fischer, LPC

Chris Fischer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 20 years of experience in the mental health field. He draws on two decades of work across multiple states to help people who are coping with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, and addiction. He also addresses relationship and family concerns, stress, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Chris favors a client-centered style that puts the person's needs first. He listens for what matters most and builds a plan around each person's goals. That plan commonly includes practical tools from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EMDR, and the Gottman Method.

Sessions are focused on everyday change. Chris helps people spot patterns, try small behavior shifts, and practice new ways of communicating. He aims to make therapy straightforward and useful rather than abstract or overly technical.

Over the years he has worked with people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image and eating concerns, addiction, anger, and complicated grief. He also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment, blended family stresses, and divorce or separation.

Chris works in English and practices in Texas. To begin, visitors are asked to use the site's Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Chris's Approaches Translate to Online Work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. In online sessions this looks like setting short homework tasks and reviewing results together. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication; those skills can be practiced and reviewed during remote meetings to help with anger, mood instability, and relationship strain. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on identifying emotional responses and improving connection in relationships; in virtual sessions that can mean guided conversations and practice of new ways to express needs.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Clients and the therapist can adjust the plan over time based on what feels most helpful.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. In general, online work often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and can reduce travel time. Many people find virtual sessions let them keep continuity of care while balancing work, caregiving, or health concerns, and the therapist will help match session length and pacing to what works in everyday life.
