About Christina
Christina Brooks is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. She works with adults facing fertility or postpartum challenges, grief, career shifts, and intimacy or relationship worries. Christina speaks English and practices from Texas as an LPC.
Her approach centers on listening first and adapting to each person's needs. She uses Client-Centered methods to build rapport and trust, and blends in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotions run high and practical coping strategies are needed. Christina aims for short, clear conversations that lead to workable steps between sessions. She supports people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and compassion fatigue by helping them set realistic goals.
Communication problems and family of origin issues are addressed with focused, practical tools. Sessions may include goal-setting, behavior experiments, and emotion regulation skills. She also helps with eating and food-related concerns, panic attacks, trauma-related symptoms, and finding purpose after life changes.
Her style is direct but warm, with an emphasis on what can be done today. With seven years of experience, Christina draws on a range of techniques rather than a single method. She tailors the plan to your situation and revises it as needed.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady, respectful support through that process.

How Christina’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your perspective. The therapist offers empathy and reflects what she hears so you can explore choices and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests them with real-life behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to handle intense feelings and improve communication.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina will talk with you about your goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Together you can try an approach, review progress, and adjust methods to find what helps most for your situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for working closely through emotions and practicing skills in real time. Phone sessions can be an easier option when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and homework follow-ups convenient between sessions. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and needs, making therapy easier to fit into busy lives.
