Christine Mendez, LPC, LMHC

Christine Mendez is a licensed counselor who brings 13 years of clinical experience to her work with individuals and families. She holds credentials as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), qualifications that reflect advanced training and supervised clinical practice in both Texas and Florida. Christine focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, and a wide range of life changes, drawing on practical strategies and evidence-based techniques.

She approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, honoring each person as the expert on their own story while offering guidance to build new skills and insights. Clients can expect an empathetic, collaborative process that prioritizes clear goals and gradual progress. Christine aims to create a supportive space where people can address patterns that limit their wellbeing and develop healthier ways of coping.

Beginning therapy often takes courage, and Christine acknowledges and affirms that first step. Her practice is suited to those seeking help with emotional challenges, relationship dynamics, parenting and family concerns, or behavior changes related to mood, attention, or addiction, with an emphasis on practical tools and compassionate support.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Christine draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and develop greater psychological flexibility - ACT supports people who feel stuck by encouraging mindful acceptance and committed action toward meaningful goals. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a skills-based approach that identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replaces them with more effective strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors. In addition, Christine incorporates Client-Centered Therapy principles, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental stance that helps clients explore their inner experience and build self-directed growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christine works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time so the work remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy provides flexible options for connecting, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from home or work while still working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to meaningful change.
