About Chris
Chris Fischer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 20 years of experience in mental health. He focuses on practical, person-centered care and makes space for what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
Chris listens first and then helps people set clear, manageable goals. He keeps language simple and works to make sessions feel straightforward and useful.
Over two decades he has supported people facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, and addiction concerns. He also addresses stress, grief, intimacy issues, eating concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and many relationship and family challenges.
Additional focuses include caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image, and communication problems. Chris draws on several therapeutic methods to match what each person needs in the moment.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation, and the Gottman Method to address relationship dynamics. He also integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy and EMDR where they fit the goals.
Sessions are tailored to the individual. Chris designs a plan that combines practical skills, emotion work, and problem-solving.
He emphasizes clear steps clients can try between sessions to make steady progress. People who want straightforward, experienced guidance often choose Chris when they need help managing strong emotions, repairing communication, or coping with major life changes.
He aims to be a steady, encouraging presence while clients work toward their goals.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Chris commonly blends the Gottman Method, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) depending on what a client needs. The Gottman Method looks at communication patterns and practical tools to reduce conflict and build connection. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for managing intense feelings and urges.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adapt techniques over time. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan when needed rather than sticking to one fixed method.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and exercises, phone works well for quick check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and text-based options allow brief updates or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain regular contact without long commutes.
