Christina Burden, LPC

Christina Burden is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience helping people through major life changes and emotional struggles. She focuses on depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, and managing stress. Christina aims to make it easier for people to talk about what matters and to find practical steps forward.

Christina uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques to help clients spot unhelpful thinking and rewrite stories that keep them stuck. She listens closely and helps clients build skills for mood management, emotional regulation, and clearer communication. Sessions emphasize small, manageable changes that add up over time.

Her work also covers a wide range of life issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, aging and geriatric concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and caretaking stress. Christina also supports people dealing with body image, chronic illness or pain, cancer-related challenges, and navigating alternative sexual cultures like BDSM and kink.

Clients looking to improve commitment and control issues, reduce codependency, or repair communication patterns will find practical tools in her sessions. She helps people cope with natural or human-caused disasters and the ripple effects those events create. Christina talks about goals clearly and helps clients track progress toward them.

Christina practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. She frames therapy as a collaborative process, where the client’s goals guide the work and small skill-building steps lead to lasting change.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Christina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and reshaping personal narratives. Cognitive behavioral methods work by identifying thought patterns that feed anxiety or depression and practicing small, targeted behavior changes to improve mood and functioning. Narrative approaches help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships so they can make different choices and feel less stuck.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy, and Christina frames this as a collaborative process. She will discuss options with each person, consider goals and preferences, and adjust methods over time so the work fits what the client needs and wants.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats also use less bandwidth or let you focus on phone-based work when video is difficult. Ask about available formats when you match and schedule so you can pick the option that best fits your routine and comfort.
