About Christie
Christie Jacobus is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 17 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing relationship and family concerns, stress and anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem and life changes. Christie also works with mood issues such as bipolar and depression, and supports people dealing with parenting stress, caregiver strain, and blended family challenges.
Christie uses straightforward, problem-focused conversations to identify what is most urgent. She listens for patterns in thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Then she and the client try small changes to test what helps. Sessions are practical and goal oriented rather than open-ended.
Her clinical style draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and habits while keeping the client's perspective central. The Gottman Method informs her work around communication and intimacy. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to break larger problems into manageable steps and quick experiments.
Christie brings a focus on everyday functioning: sleep, eating, work, and relationships. She helps people build clearer communication skills, set boundaries, and manage stress reactions. Her approach includes concrete tools for coping with caregiver fatigue, body image concerns, and the emotional effects of chronic illness.
Clients who prefer a faith-informed lens may find her practice aligns with those values. Christie aims to help people make practical shifts that improve day-to-day life and reduce recurring conflict.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Christie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT is focused on practical exercises and behavior changes that can be practiced between sessions. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the client's perspective central, offering a listening stance that informs which skills to prioritize.The Gottman Method is used when communication or intimacy is the main concern. It provides concrete exercises for improving how people talk about problems and repair conflict. Christie combines these approaches with solution-focused steps so clients can set short-term goals and test what works in daily life. Deciding which combination to use is part of the work together; she will help identify the best fit based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences.
If you plan to try online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. The main practical benefits of doing therapy online include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, keeping check-ins brief when needed, and reducing travel time. Some formats may be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter phone check-in fits a work break; confirm which options Christie offers when you sign up.
