About Lara
Lara Christian is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about their next steps. Lara aims to help clients build clarity, resilience, and steady progress through honest, collaborative conversations.
She has worked in a range of settings, including intensive inpatient and outpatient care. That breadth of experience means she is familiar with high-intensity situations as well as ongoing outpatient support.
How Lara works
Lara often meets people who are searching for direction, dealing with stress or anxiety, facing sleep problems, managing addictions, or coping with low self-esteem and depression. Her style is straightforward and practical. Sessions begin with careful listening so clients feel heard.
From there she helps people choose small, doable steps to create momentum between sessions. This approach emphasizes real-world changes rather than dependence on therapy itself. Lara also brings knowledge of brain-based approaches such as QEEG brain mapping and neurofeedback, which inform how she understands habits and emotional regulation.
For clients who request it, she can integrate a biblical approach into work together. She works in English and practices in Texas, offering several online formats for therapy. People who reach out can expect a collaborative process that connects thinking, feeling, and everyday action.
The goal is clearer direction and tools to move forward with more confidence.

Online support options
Evidence-informed approaches and flexible online care
Many of Lara's methods draw on brain-based and practical techniques that focus on feeling and behavior. Neurofeedback is a brain-based tool she has experience with; it involves tracking brain activity and using that information to support better emotional regulation and attention. QEEG brain mapping is a way of looking at brain patterns to guide treatment planning and understand habits that fuel anxiety or mood problems.Therapy with Lara is collaborative. She will work with each person to find approaches that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Choosing the right technique can happen over a few sessions as she and the client test what helps most and adjust the plan together.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth sessions and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a personal conversation is needed without video, live chat can allow shorter check-ins during the day, and text messaging supports ongoing, brief exchanges between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits aren't practical.
