Christine Mendez, LPC, LMHC

Christine Mendez is a licensed professional counselor and licensed mental health counselor with 13 years of experience. She practices in Texas and focuses on helping people who face stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns. Christine emphasizes client strengths and practical steps in early sessions to help people feel more steady and capable.

She approaches work in a straightforward, respectful way. Sessions start with the problems a person brings and move to clear, manageable goals. Christine uses everyday language and practical tools so people can try new things between sessions.

Her background blends several evidence-based approaches. She draws on acceptance and commitment methods to help clarify values and commit to workable changes. Cognitive behavioral ideas are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Emotion-focused and client-centered work help people process feelings and build self-compassion.

Christine also supports people dealing with parenting stress, career shifts, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, chronic health challenges, and caregiver strain. She pays attention to attachment and communication patterns that show up in relationships. Her style is collaborative, calm, and goal-oriented.

To begin, she asks people to identify what matters most to them and then chooses steps that fit daily life. The process is paced to each person’s needs, with a focus on small wins and clearer coping skills over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps even when discomfort is present. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change how problems show up day to day. It often helps with anxiety, mood, sleep, and patterns that keep problems going.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Practical benefits of working online should be confirmed before booking, since session options are not listed here. Many people find online work fits better into busy schedules, reduces travel time, and makes it easier to keep regular appointments. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins or camera-off options when helpful, and they make it simpler to continue support through life changes and busy weeks. Confirm the current session formats before scheduling so they match your needs and routine.
