About Christine
Christine Mendez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Texas. She brings 13 years of professional experience to her work and focuses on practical help for common life stresses. She speaks English and offers online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.
Her approach begins with listening. She treats people as the expert on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to make small changes that feel useful day to day rather than oversized promises. Christine uses approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based work to help people manage anxiety, depression, and parenting stress. She also draws on client-centered and emotion-focused ideas to improve communication and emotional understanding.
These tools are used to address concerns such as grief, trauma, eating and sleeping problems, and coping with life changes. She has worked with issues around addiction, intimacy, self-esteem, and work stress. Christine also supports people facing ADHD, compassion fatigue, and caregiving burdens.
Her practice includes concerns related to adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, and body image. In sessions she moves at a practical pace. Conversations tend to focus on clear goals, small experiments between meetings, and skills people can use right away.
The aim is to help people feel steadier and more able to manage daily demands.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting support
Christine often uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and problem-focused and can help with anxiety, mood, sleep, and managing difficult parenting moments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she uses; ACT teaches people to notice hard thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. That can be useful when parenting stress or grief make it hard to act the way someone wants to.She also incorporates client-centered and emotionally focused ideas to create a collaborative atmosphere. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which approaches fit their needs and goals. Deciding on strategies is a shared process that can change as concerns shift over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people work face to face from a chosen location, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging offers shorter check-ins or step-by-step coaching between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
