About Christie
Christie Jacobus is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are facing relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, stress and anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges like eating, sleeping, bipolar, depression, and ADHD.
She focuses on practical communication problems, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes. Christie helps people sort through family of origin and blended family tensions, divorce and separation concerns, and fertility or caregiver stress. She also addresses body image, self-esteem, career questions, and midlife reassessment.
Her style emphasizes a person-centered stance. Sessions typically center on what the person wants to change and steps they can try between meetings. Christie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns of thinking that keep problems in place, and on Solution-Focused methods to build small, testable changes.
The Gottman Method is part of her approach for people who want concrete communication skills for relationship interactions. Christie uses clear tools and structured conversations rather than abstract theory. She also attends to practical coping strategies for stress, compassion fatigue, and caregiver burnout.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about goals and options. She encourages setting short-term objectives and tracking what works. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details through the matching process.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person's perspective and responding to what matters most to them. Online sessions using this approach emphasize listening, reflecting, and helping clients prioritize their goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. In remote sessions CBT can include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying behavioral experiments, and practicing new skills between meetings to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress.
The Gottman Method offers concrete communication techniques and exercises for improving interactions. When applied online, it can include supervised skill-building, structured conversations, and practice of specific strategies to address intimacy or conflict concerns.
Choosing an approach is often collaborative. Christie will work with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, and she adjusts plans as progress is tracked. That means trying a method for a few sessions and changing course if something feels unhelpful.
Confirm the available session formats before scheduling, since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten check-ins when needed, avoid travel time, or remove the need to be on camera for every session. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while balancing parenting, work, and caregiving responsibilities.
