About Christina
Christina Brooks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting strain, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. She also addresses eating and food-related issues, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.
Christina uses straightforward conversation and practical skills in sessions. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and understand what matters to each person. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense emotions.
When someone brings parenting stress or trouble with a partner, Christina helps them clarify goals and try small, doable changes. For eating-related concerns she focuses on behavior and thinking patterns that get in the way of daily life. For grief and life changes she helps people make sense of what has shifted and learn coping steps that fit their routine.
Christina keeps sessions focused and concrete. Expect conversations about patterns, short skill-building exercises, and practical homework when useful. She works at a steady pace and checks in about what is or isn't helping.
Her work draws on seven years of experience supporting adults through common and complex life problems. She practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Christina commonly blends client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills. Client-centered work focuses on understanding the person's priorities and building a respectful working relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy supplies concrete emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills useful when feelings feel overwhelming.Choosing an approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try approaches that fit those aims, and adjust what she does based on what helps. Clients often move between conversation, skill practice, and brief action steps to test new ways of handling difficulties.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when appropriate, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises for remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings and apply them in daily life.
