About Christie
Christie Jacobus is an LPC based in Texas who helps people facing relationship strains, sleep and eating concerns, stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She works with clients on communication problems, intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, and career or purpose questions. Christie draws on many years of clinical experience to support people through tough transitions and ongoing challenges.
Christie uses a straightforward, compassionate style in sessions. She listens first, then helps clients set small, achievable goals. Conversations focus on practical steps clients can try between sessions. She adapts her tools to each person's situation rather than using one fixed method.
Her background includes 17 years as a licensed professional counselor, plus long experience in health care that informs how she addresses chronic illness, caregiving strain, and physical contributors to sleep and eating problems. Christie pays attention to how daily routines, stress, and relationships affect rest and well-being.
The clinical approaches she uses include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, solution-focused planning, and elements of the Gottman Method for relationship patterns. Those methods guide goal-setting, skill practice, and clearer communication in sessions.
Christie describes her practice as faith-informed for those who want it, and she respects each person's beliefs when shaping therapy. People who choose her can expect practical tools, room to reflect, and help building routines that support better sleep, calmer days, and stronger relationships.
How these approaches shape online counseling
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and priorities. It means the therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and supports clients in making their own choices about change. This approach helps when people need validation, a nonjudgmental space, and help naming what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and routines affect feelings and sleep. It uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and support better rest. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and sleep-related habits.
The Gottman Method provides tools for improving communication and managing conflict in close relationships. It emphasizes specific skills for clearer talk and repairing hurts, which can reduce stress that interferes with sleep and intimacy.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, and then suggest methods to try. The choice of techniques is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let people practice new sleep and stress-management habits in real life and bring those experiences back to sessions for discussion.
