Christie Jacobus, LPC

Christie Jacobus is an LPC based in Texas who helps people facing relationship and family concerns. She supports those dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, mood struggles like depression and bipolar, attention challenges, and parenting or intimacy-related issues. Christie also assists with eating and sleeping concerns, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes.

Christie draws on 17 years as a counselor and a long clinical background before that to offer practical, down-to-earth help. She listens without judgment and centers each conversation on what the person wants to change. Sessions focus on clear goals and straightforward strategies people can try between meetings.

Her approach blends Client-Centered therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused work, and she uses elements of the Gottman Method for relationship concerns. That mix is used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, practice different ways of relating, and build skills for managing emotions and stress.

Christie often supports people dealing with blended family issues, caregiver strain, chronic pain or illness, fertility and reproductive concerns, communication problems, infidelity and divorce, and first responder stress. She incorporates a faith-informed perspective when requested, and she respects each person’s values in planning sessions.

Christie works in Texas and offers services in English. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short intake and schedule sessions based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Christie commonly blends Client-Centered therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered therapy focuses on listening, accepting the person’s experience, and helping them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce stress and mood symptoms.

She also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship-focused work, which looks at communication patterns and teaches concrete skills couples can use to rebuild trust and connection. These approaches are used to address relationship conflict, communication problems, intimacy issues, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christie will talk with each person about goals, previous experiences, and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try. She treats the plan as collaborative and adjusts methods if something is not helpful.

Confirm current session options before booking to learn how sessions are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to continue care through transitions and help people stay consistent with practice between sessions.
