About Christanne
Christanne Brunner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on practical help for parents feeling overwhelmed. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and struggles around intimacy and self-esteem. Christanne also addresses parenting concerns and LGBT matters with straightforward, solution-minded care.
She uses clear, goal-oriented methods to help clients find workable steps. Sessions often focus on identifying small changes that make daily routines easier.
Background and approach
Communication skills and managing workplace stress are common topics. Christanne helps people build tools to cope with anger, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Christanne draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns that keep problems going.
She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and create quick, practical wins. Gottman Method techniques are included when communication and relationship repair are priorities. Her approach is collaborative and direct.
She asks practical questions, suggests experiments to try between sessions, and reviews what helped. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Clients can expect sessions that are calm and task-focused.
Christanne frames challenges as problems with solutions to discover together. Her background in counseling supports a down-to-earth style that many parents find useful when juggling care, work, and emotional needs.

Approaches Christanne lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Christanne commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, then try small changes to shift them. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks issues into manageable tasks.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set specific, short-term goals and identify what steps lead to quick improvements. Gottman Method techniques are used when communication patterns need practical restructuring to reduce conflict and improve connection.
Choosing a method is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each client about their goals and preferences, then recommend approaches to try. They check progress together and adjust methods if something isn’t working.
Online sessions allow flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for conversations that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a shorter break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking progress, and keeping momentum between longer sessions.
