About Christie
Christie Jacobus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 17 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing relationship struggles, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. Christie uses straightforward, practical steps so parents can manage daily challenges more easily.
She prefers a warm, collaborative style. Sessions focus on clear goals, improved communication, and skills that can be used between appointments. Christie listens for what matters most and then works with each person to build realistic strategies.
Background and approach
Her work draws on client-centered practice and cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thinking and build new habits. She also uses parts of the Gottman Method and solution-focused techniques to strengthen relationship skills and create short-term wins.
Christie often helps with parenting concerns like blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, sleep and eating issues that affect family life, and communication problems that escalate conflict. She also supports people dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue, or career and life-purpose questions. Clients can expect clear suggestions, homework when useful, and steady encouragement.
The tone is practical and nonjudgmental, focused on small changes that add up over time.

Practical approaches for online parenting and relationship work
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building the relationship needed for change. It helps parents feel heard and clarify what they want to do differently. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and habits and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change reactions that strain relationships. The Gottman Method offers specific communication and conflict tools useful for improving partnership interactions and co-parenting routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That process is collaborative so methods can be adjusted if something isn’t helping.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for relationship work and role-play. Phone sessions can fit lunch breaks or low-bandwidth situations. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, homework review, or getting brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and varied lifestyles.
