Christina Brooks, LPC

Christina Brooks is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She supports those facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, eating and intimacy-related concerns, and burnout from caregiving or work. Christina aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can begin to sort things out one step at a time.

Christina uses straightforward conversation and a practical approach. She listens first, then helps shape a plan that fits each person's situation. That plan may include learning coping skills for panic or anxiety, looking at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and building clearer ways to communicate with others.

Her work draws on client-centered principles that keep the person's goals central. Christina also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify thought patterns linked to mood and behavior. When strong emotions or intense mood swings arise, she may use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies for coping skills and emotional regulation.

She has seven years of experience in counseling and focuses on practical changes people can use in daily life. Christina pays attention to issues like chronic pain, fertility stress, postpartum depression, and family of origin wounds when they affect current functioning. She describes therapy as a collaborative process and aims to adapt the pace to each person's readiness.

People who choose Christina can expect clear, down-to-earth guidance and tools they can try between sessions. She encourages questions and works with each person to set realistic, manageable steps toward the changes they want.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and adapting to what matters most to the person. In practice the therapist emphasizes empathy and follows the person's lead to set goals and pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It often involves identifying thought patterns, testing them, and trying small behavior changes to see what helps with anxiety, depression, or eating concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Skills include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be applied to panic, grief, caregiving stress, or relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts tools and pacing as progress and comfort become clearer.
