About Chris

Chris Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with nine years of experience. She offers a quiet, listening presence where teenagers and adults can talk without judgment. Chris aims to help people feel less overwhelmed and regain a clearer sense of balance.

She focuses on everyday thoughts and habits that shape mood and behavior. Chris helps people work through anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, and challenges related to ADHD. She also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and dissociation.

Chris works in a person-centered way and treats the client as the expert on their life. Sessions often include practical steps and short-term strategies alongside deeper reflection. The goal is to increase self-awareness and find approaches that fit each person’s life.

In sessions she listens for patterns in thinking and routine that keep problems going. Together with the client she identifies small, manageable changes to test between meetings. Over time those changes can reduce reactive habits and make coping easier.

She invites clients to move at a pace that feels right. Conversations may range from problem-solving and skills practice to exploring painful memories. Chris aims to help people reset, reduce intense guilt or shame, and regain more stable mood and daily functioning.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful when worry or unhelpful habits get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and testing small changes to see what helps. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and habit change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness; it can be helpful for people who struggle with intense reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, try a method, and adjust based on what feels useful. Clients and the therapist work together to find which mix of strategies matches goals and daily life demands.

Online work can make attending sessions simpler to fit into a busy schedule. Many people appreciate shorter check-ins, easier scheduling around school or work, and not needing a long commute. Because session formats are not listed in the profile, please confirm available online options before booking. A quick conversation can clarify session length, pacing, and practical arrangements so therapy fits into everyday routines.
