About Christine
Christine Mendez is a licensed professional counselor and a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Texas. She brings 13 years of experience to her work and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and sleep-related difficulties. Christine speaks English and uses straightforward, practical language in sessions.
She centers therapy on the person in front of her, treating clients as experts in their own lives while offering guidance and clinical tools. Sessions are aimed at making small, useful changes that fit into everyday life. Christine encourages clients to notice their strengths and apply them to current challenges.
Her background includes work with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, attention challenges like ADHD, and trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with career strain, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, body-image and eating concerns, and compassion fatigue. Christine pays attention to how life transitions and losses affect sleep and daytime functioning.
Christine uses a mix of approaches in her work, bringing practices that help people change difficult thoughts and behaviors, build emotional awareness, and commit to value-driven actions. She adapts methods to each person rather than following a single script, and she talks through concrete skills alongside deeper reflection.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match what matters most. ACT is often useful for anxiety, stress, and getting better sleep by changing how someone responds to wandering thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and change behaviors that keep problems going, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and many sleep concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens, reflects, and helps the person find their own solutions; this approach supports self-direction and trust.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their situation, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may include trying different techniques and adjusting over time based on what works best for daily life and sleep routines.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats offered before booking since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can use a break at work or between activities. Licensed professionals can still teach behavioral skills, guide relaxation and sleep routines, and help plan step-by-step changes in an online setting.
