About Christine
Christine Mendez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Texas. She brings 13 years of clinical experience to her work and focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, and grief.
Background and approach
Christine speaks English and aims to make starting therapy feel straightforward and approachable. She centers her approach on collaboration, treating each person as the expert on their own life.
Sessions emphasize clear goals and practical steps. Christine listens for strengths clients can use right away and helps build skills to manage intense emotions and difficult situations.
Her work draws on several evidence-based methods, including Gottman Method practices for relationship patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and action, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered principles when they fit the situation.
Christine has experience with a wide range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, parenting stress, sleep and eating issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses areas like abandonment, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and chronic illness-related strain.
Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Therapy follows a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, people select Start Therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.
How approaches like Gottman, ACT, and CBT work online
Christine uses Gottman Method ideas to notice interaction patterns and help people build more positive ways of connecting and communicating. That approach is useful when relationship habits cause repeated conflict or disconnection. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small, values-driven actions despite uncomfortable feelings; it helps with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful thinking.The therapist treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. Early sessions are used to understand goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together the therapist and client try methods, adjust as needed, and track what leads to better day-to-day coping and clearer decision making.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and feedback. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging work well for ongoing coaching, quick skill reminders, or people who prefer not to use video. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit work, caregiving, or other routines.
