About Christanne

She writes plainly and helps clients talk through relationship struggles, grief, parenting strain, and issues tied to identity. Her approach is direct and focused on practical steps clients can use between sessions.
Brunner is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Texas with 12 years of combined experience. She uses approaches that guide people toward clearer thinking and better communication.
How Christanne works
Sessions are built around goals the client sets, and progress is reviewed regularly. She commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with workable alternatives. The Gottman Method informs how she helps partners improve communication and reduce conflict.
Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set small, achievable steps and build momentum. In sessions she aims to create an open atmosphere where feelings and worries can be shared. She emphasizes skill-building so people leave with strategies to manage mood, reduce reactivity, and handle stressors at work or home.
Work often includes practicing communication skills and setting realistic behavior changes. Christanne supports clients navigating gender and LGBT concerns, intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue, and workplace pressures. She also addresses parenting concerns, self-esteem, anger, and coping after loss.
The focus is on what matters to the client and finding practical ways forward.

Approaches and online session options
Christanne commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting thoughts that increase stress or low mood and trying new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce their effect. The Gottman Method helps partners learn clearer ways to talk, manage conflict, and rebuild connection through practical exercises and communication skills. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, concrete steps toward goals so clients can build changes quickly and measure progress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with each person to match techniques to the client's goals, needs, and preferences. Over a few sessions she and the client check whether methods are helping and adjust the plan accordingly.
Online therapy offers flexible options to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can be a simpler way to check in when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or getting short-term support between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy steady around work, parenting, and life obligations.
