Lara Christian, LPC

Lara Christian is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 15 years of experience across intensive inpatient and outpatient settings. She works with people who often feel stuck, overwhelmed, confused, or worn down when life does not go as expected, and she frequently supports those seeking clarity, direction, and purposeful next steps. Many clients who come to her feel marginalized, overlooked, or uncertain about how to move forward, and she helps them regain momentum through focused, practical work.

Lara uses a collaborative and straightforward style that aims to be both honest and refreshing. She emphasizes that meaningful change unfolds both during sessions and through the small, everyday choices clients make between meetings. Therapy often begins with attentive listening, then progresses toward intentional steps and insight that build resilience and forward movement rather than dependence on therapy itself.

In addition to talk-based counseling, Lara brings a background in brain-based therapies, including QEEG brain mapping and neurofeedback, which inform her approach to emotional regulation, habits, and behavioral change. She is a Christian and can integrate a biblical approach into sessions for clients who request that perspective. Lara focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, self-esteem, depression, and addictions, and she aims to help clients find clarity, purpose, and sustainable coping strategies.

Brain-informed and Collaborative Care Online

Lara draws on brain-based therapies such as QEEG brain mapping and neurofeedback to clarify patterns of emotional regulation and support changes in habits and behavior. QEEG involves evaluating brain activity to better understand how emotions and attention are regulated, while neurofeedback uses targeted training to help clients develop more effective self-regulation skills. These approaches can complement talk-based work for concerns like anxiety, sleep problems, and mood dysregulation.

Alongside brain-informed tools, Lara practices a collaborative, insight-oriented approach that emphasizes practical steps between sessions. She partners with clients to identify goals, develop strategies, and build momentum through everyday choices, tailoring techniques to each person’s needs and preferences. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Lara works with clients to determine what fits best based on their goals and life context.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and engage in consistent work toward emotional well-being with a licensed professional.
