Christie Jacobus, LPC

Christie Jacobus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing relationship challenges and major life changes. She supports those coping with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and struggles with self-esteem, sleep, eating, or career concerns. Christie also works with people managing ADHD, bipolar disorder, and chronic health or caregiving burdens.

Her style is direct and warm. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. She uses tools to improve communication, reduce overwhelm, and rebuild trust in relationships. Clients can expect a steady, person-centered presence in sessions.

Christie draws on client-centered therapy to follow each person’s lead and create a respectful space. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thought patterns that increase distress and to try specific behavior changes. The Gottman Method informs her work on communication and intimacy, while solution-focused ideas help set small, achievable goals.

Christie brings 17 years as a counselor combined with extensive prior health-care experience. That combination shapes her attention to both emotional and practical challenges, especially when chronic illness, caregiving, or body-image concerns are involved. She integrates life experience with therapeutic skills to help people move toward clearer choices.

Her practice reflects a values-aware approach for those who want faith to be part of therapy. Christie welcomes conversations about how beliefs matter to the work and partners with each person to build strategies that fit their life and goals.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following each person's priorities to guide the work; online sessions can use that same quiet, respectful stance to help people name what matters and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests simple changes; it is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep, and many day-to-day struggles. The Gottman Method offers practical tools for improving communication and rebuilding trust, which can be practiced and reviewed in conversation during remote sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Christie will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. Together they review what’s working and adjust strategies as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when that helps them focus. Discuss format preferences during the intake so sessions fit practical needs as well as therapeutic goals.
