About Christie
Christie Jacobus is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 17 years of therapy experience. She helps people manage relationship and family concerns, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with stress, compassion fatigue, parenting strain, and challenges like ADHD or bipolar disorder.
Christie aims for straightforward, practical sessions. She listens first and helps people decide what matters most. Conversations focus on everyday steps people can try between meetings.
How Christie works
The tone is calm, direct, and respectful of each person’s values. Her work draws on techniques from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Those methods help people name unhelpful patterns and try different responses.
The Gottman Method is used for practical communication skills when relationship issues are central. She also uses solution-focused ideas to set small, achievable goals. That keeps progress concrete and measurable.
Christie pays attention to family of origin issues, blended family challenges, and communication problems when those come up. Christie’s background includes long experience in caregiving contexts and attention to caregiver stress, chronic illness, and body image concerns. She supports people dealing with infertility, divorce and separation, work and career questions, and midlife reorientation.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online in formats that fit each person’s needs.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and responding to what matters most to each person. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns, and helps people articulate goals and choices. This approach suits people who want a respectful, collaborative space to talk about relationships, family stress, or life purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is practical and skill-based, often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and stress management. Sessions may include homework tasks to try new ways of coping between meetings.
The Gottman Method offers specific tools for improving communication and resolving recurring relationship problems. It provides clear exercises to practice listening, repairing conflict, and rebuilding trust when intimacy or commitment issues are present.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend a mix of methods that fit the person’s needs. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy provides practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions work well for quick check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit ongoing support, short updates, or people who prefer writing. Together these formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy or changing schedules.
