With a focus on both relational and individual dynamics, she helps clients navigate blended family issues, communication problems, infidelity, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and other complex life situations. Christie also supports people facing fertility questions, midlife transitions, questions of life purpose, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation. Her work includes attention to body image, family of origin matters, and forgiveness when that is relevant to healing.

Drawing on client-centered, cognitive behavioral, Gottman, and solution-focused approaches, Christie adapts interventions to each person or couple she works with. She aims to create a compassionate and goal-oriented therapeutic process that honors strengths while helping clients develop practical strategies for change. Christie provides services in English and practices from her Texas license as an LPC (TX LPC 61336).

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Christie Jacobus

Christie integrates client-centered therapy into her online practice, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and the client’s own goals to foster self-awareness and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core approach she uses - it focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and teaching practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. For couples and relationship work she draws on elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication, reduce destructive patterns, and build more stable connections.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christie works with each person or couple to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors techniques from these methods so the plan fits the situation. Clients are invited to give feedback and refine the approach as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Christie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible and flexible. These options allow people to schedule sessions around work, family, and other responsibilities, and to maintain continuity of care when life requires remote access to licensed professionals.
