Christyn Jaap, LPC

Christyn Jaap is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on relationship concerns, jealousy, anxiety, and related struggles. She brings five years of counseling experience and a calm, straightforward approach. Christyn aims to help people feel heard and to build practical skills for day-to-day life.

Christyn believes each person knows their own story and has strengths to draw on. Sessions center on listening first, then collaborating on clear goals. She uses simple tools to improve communication, manage strong emotions, and reduce patterns that keep problems stuck.

Her background includes time working in schools as a teacher, coach, and counselor for eight years. That work shaped how she explains things plainly and breaks big problems into small steps. She uses methods that fit what each person needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

In sessions, Christyn combines client-centered conversation with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find reasons to change and the Gottman Method for practical relationship skills when relevant. Conversations focus on concrete moves clients can try between meetings.

People often come for help with stress, grief, self-esteem, trauma, parenting concerns, eating issues, mood concerns, ADHD, and life transitions. Christyn supports clients as they sort through difficult feelings, set boundaries, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.

How these approaches work in online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building on a person's strengths. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects concerns, and helps set clear goals. This approach helps when people need a thoughtful, compassionate listener to sort out feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It teaches simple exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and interrupt patterns like jealousy or compulsive thoughts. CBT gives practical tools clients can practice between sessions.

The Gottman Method offers concrete skills for improving communication and reducing reactivity in close relationships. It provides exercises aimed at rebuilding trust and managing conflict in everyday interactions.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they review what is helping and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use these advantages to help therapy feel manageable alongside school, work, and parenting responsibilities.
