Christine Jacobsen, LPC

Christine Jacobsen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who works with individuals, families, and groups across outpatient and inpatient settings. She brings broad clinical training and specialized certifications to her work - including Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP), Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (CASDCS), and Tobacco Treatment Specialist (TTS), the latter earned through the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center - and she draws on that background to tailor care to each person she meets.

Her experience includes work with U.S. Veterans, both combat and non-combat, and a range of presenting concerns such as anxiety, trauma and PTSD, depression, relationship and adjustment issues, autism spectrum concerns, bipolar disorder, and tobacco or nicotine dependence. She also provides career-related counseling and develops individualized treatment plans with short- and long-term goals that reflect a person’s history, current situation, and personal objectives.

Christine’s clinical background includes prior research and clinical work at several Houston-area institutions, and she has offered services across settings that include outpatient clinics and inpatient programs. She supports people facing life changes, grief, parenting and family challenges, eating and sleeping difficulties, attention-related concerns, and coping with addictive behaviors, always focusing on practical strategies and collaborative goal-setting.

Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Care

Christine Jacobsen commonly draws from Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when working with clients online. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the individual’s experience, offering empathic listening and support so clients can explore their values, emotions, and goals at their own pace - this approach is well suited to relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, and life adjustments. CBT focuses on identifying links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaching practical skills to manage symptoms and develop healthier patterns - it is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with stress or addictive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions, adjusts goals over time, and combines elements from different approaches as appropriate to support progress.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain consistent sessions, fit therapy into busy routines, and continue care through life transitions while working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to practical, goal-oriented support.
