Christine Mendez, LPC, LMHC

Christine Mendez is a licensed professional counselor and licensed mental health counselor with 13 years of experience. She practices in Texas and brings a steady, practical approach to sessions. Christine aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for people under stress or facing big changes.

She focuses on common pressures like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with addictions, ADHD, chronic illness and pain, caregiver strain, and issues tied to attachment and abandonment. Christine works with concerns that affect daily life such as sleep problems, eating, self-esteem, and career strain.

Her style is straightforward and person-centered. Christine listens first, then helps people decide what matters most to them. She uses clear strategies from cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based approaches alongside emotionally focused and dialectical methods when helpful.

Sessions tend to emphasize simple skills and real-life practice. Clients can expect conversational sessions that name patterns, try small experiments, and build coping steps for stress and difficult emotions. The aim is to leave each session with something to try between meetings.

Christine asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and she does not accept international clients.

How Christine’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, chronic illness adjustment, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy centers on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person’s own goals guide the work. This approach helps people feel heard and clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christine will help assess what fits a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust techniques as those needs change. The process is collaborative and paced to what the client feels ready to try.

The practical benefit of online therapy is that it can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time, which helps people who juggle caregiving, work, or health appointments. If you prefer a simpler check-in or want to avoid being on camera, mention that when you match so options can be discussed.
