About Christine

Christine Mendez is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in Texas. She has 13 years of clinical experience and a background helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, and grief. Christine speaks English and approaches each person with respect for their strengths and life story.

She starts sessions by listening carefully and learning what matters most to the person in front of her. Christine helps people name worries, find clearer priorities, and develop skills for calmer days. She uses straightforward language and practical steps so work in therapy feels useful between sessions.

Her approach draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and client-centered principles that follow the client's pace. She also draws on dialectical behavior strategies and emotionally-focused work when emotions or intense conflict are central concerns.

Christine has supported people dealing with trauma, parenting stress, sleep and eating concerns, and identity questions including LGBT issues. She also assists those navigating career strain, caregiving burden, chronic illness, and challenges like ADHD or bipolar disorder.

If someone is coping with jealousy related to relationships, Christine can help them identify triggers, improve communication, and find healthier ways to manage distress.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical experiments to change behavior and mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's pace so goals come from the client's priorities rather than a preset plan.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Christine will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques that fit. The plan can change as progress is made and new challenges appear.

The original profile did not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them. Licensed professionals can also use online sessions to follow through on skills practice between meetings and to keep momentum when life gets hectic.
