Christina Burden, LPC

Christina Burden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 20 years of experience. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and the stress that comes with big life changes. Her work centers on listening carefully and helping clients find practical ways forward.

Christina takes a warm, nonjudgmental approach. She encourages people to speak openly about what feels hardest. Sessions focus on real skills for everyday life, such as managing mood, coping with loss, and improving communication.

Her background includes long experience supporting clients through relationship struggles, workplace stress, and social anxiety. Christina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people reframe difficult stories and learn new behavior patterns that reduce distress.

She also supports people facing more specific challenges, such as caregiving strain, chronic illness, body image concerns, adoption and foster care issues, aging-related questions, and concerns tied to alternative sexual cultures. Christina aims to help clients develop self-acceptance and clearer boundaries.

Therapy with Christina emphasizes practical change and emotional growth. She works collaboratively to set goals and teach skills that can be used outside sessions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How evidence-based techniques guide online care

Christina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques described in plain terms. Cognitive behavioral work looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Narrative-influenced work helps people separate themselves from painful stories and rewrite how they understand life events and identity.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Christina collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods as needed to match what’s actually helping.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. They can also let people use audio-only sessions when bandwidth is low or they prefer not to be on camera. Licensed professionals can help figure out the best way to meet your needs while keeping sessions practical and focused.
