About Chris
Chris Fischer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 20 years of experience in the mental health field. He works with people facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, and addiction. He also supports concerns like ADHD, grief, relationship strain, and low self-esteem.
Chris keeps therapy straightforward and practical. He listens first, then helps people set clear goals. Sessions focus on skills and strategies that can be used between appointments.
Background and approach
He aims to help people feel more able to handle daily stresses and recurring problems. His work draws on several evidence-informed methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and the Gottman Method. These approaches are used to address mood problems, trauma reactions, relationship difficulties, and patterns that keep people stuck.
Chris has two decades of clinical experience across multiple states and has spent many years helping people through crisis, chronic conditions, and complicated life transitions. He brings that background into sessions as practical knowledge about what tends to help most. People who meet with Chris can expect a respectful, client-centered process.
He works with each person to design a plan that fits their goals and situation. Progress is tracked in real terms so people can see what changes are happening and where to focus next.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns of behavior. Online CBT sessions typically include skill practice, thought records, and homework to use between meetings, which can help with anxiety, depression, and attention-related struggles.DBT focuses on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. In remote sessions this looks like learning concrete techniques, practicing them with guidance, and checking progress between appointments to reduce impulsive reactions and improve relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is observed. Clients are involved in choosing what feels most useful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls support face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates, skill coaching, and ongoing contact between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules while using the approaches described above.
