About Chris

Chris Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and challenges related to ADHD. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about difficult feelings and begin to make sense of them. Sessions are practical and focused on what will help in daily life.

Chris works with teenagers and adults. She listens with empathy and treats each person as the expert on their own life. Conversations aim to build self-awareness and identify workable steps to feel steadier and more balanced.

Her style blends client-centered care with focused problem-solving. That means clients decide priorities, while Chris helps name patterns and try strategies that fit their goals. Progress is paced to what feels manageable for each person.

Chris often uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused ideas when emotions run high or relationships are strained.

Many people come to her for help with attachment concerns, abandonment, codependency, communication problems, or coping after trauma. She also supports those handling chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image worries, and the emotional fallout from major life disruptions.

Clients are asked to set goals and try small, workable steps between sessions. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier mood, and more effective ways to handle life’s pressures over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and midlife concerns about meaning and direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding strong emotions in relationships and improving emotional connection and communication.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques feel most useful in regular sessions.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so therapy can be easier to keep up. Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and for using tools like worksheets or skills practice between meetings to reinforce progress.
