Christine Kobes , LCSW

Christine Kobes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas with 8 years of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Houston and practices with a focus on helping people manage stress and anxiety, process trauma and abuse, navigate relationship challenges, and recover from depression. As a LCSW, she brings advanced training in clinical social work to support clients through a range of life transitions and mood-related concerns.

Christine approaches therapy with an emphasis on creating a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed openly. She draws on evidence-informed methods to help clients build coping skills, clarify goals, and make practical changes that improve daily functioning and well-being. Her work also addresses communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, life purpose, workplace issues, and women's concerns when they arise.

Christine sees seeking help as a courageous first step and aims to empower each person she works with to move toward a more fulfilling life. She collaborates with clients to tailor the therapeutic process to their needs, offering support and guidance as they pursue meaningful change.

Approaches and Online Care with a Licensed Social Worker

Christine integrates client-centered therapy into her online work, offering a respectful, empathic stance that helps people explore their feelings and priorities at their own pace. This approach supports issues like life transitions, relationship concerns, and questions about purpose by focusing on the client’s experience and goals.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-focused, and it is useful for addressing anxiety, depression, and mood-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christine works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, preferences, and goals. The methods she uses can be adjusted over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, receive support from home, and maintain continuity of care when life changes make in-person visits difficult.
