About Christina
Christina Teel-Gonzales is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 28 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, parenting, career questions, and ADHD. She practices from Texas and conducts sessions virtually through online counseling sites. Christina presents straightforward, skills-based support for everyday problems people bring to therapy.
She uses practical approaches that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. Sessions often focus on identifying patterns that keep problems going and testing small changes that can make daily life easier. Christina combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered listening and solution-focused techniques to keep work actionable and focused on next steps.
Her training includes a master’s degree in Counseling and Guidance from Texas State University and a bachelor’s degree in Human Resource Management from the University of Texas. She has maintained a long career in counseling across multiple Texas locations while delivering services online.
Christina also draws on life experience raising a family and time spent living abroad. That background informs practical problem-solving around caregiver stress, immigration concerns, and life changes. She commonly addresses issues such as abandonment, guilt and shame, and isolation alongside the more typical areas of anxiety and relationship strain.

How CBT, client-centered, and solution-focused work in online sessions
Christina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns that increase stress or anxiety and to try practical changes. CBT sessions focus on concrete skills, simple experiments, and homework that help people test what actually changes symptoms and behavior.She also uses a client-centered approach that prioritizes listening and reflecting on a person’s experience. This method helps clarify goals and makes it easier to decide which skills to try next. Solution-focused techniques then narrow attention to achievable short-term steps that move life forward rather than rehashing every past detail.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each person to decide which approach fits their goals and preferences. That means reviewing progress and shifting emphasis toward skill practice, problem-solving, or open discussion based on what helps most.
