About Christine
Christine Mendez is a licensed professional counselor who brings 13 years of clinical experience to her practice in Texas. She is credentialed as an LPC and as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC. She focuses on guiding people through common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and ADHD.
Christine centers work on the person in front of her. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and helps them build on existing strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be practical and direct, with clear goals and steps people can try between meetings. Her background includes a range of therapeutic approaches, which she blends to match individual needs. Christine uses techniques that help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, build emotional awareness, and commit to values-based action.
She also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize listening and collaboration. People who contact her often want straightforward strategies for daily life. She supports coping with sleep and eating problems, career stress, parenting strain, and the effects of trauma or chronic illness.
She also helps with identity-related concerns including LGBT issues and the stress that can come from caregiving roles. Sessions are available in several online formats, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules an appointment based on availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people name what matters to them and take small, consistent steps toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can be useful for persistent stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and managing day-to-day problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christine will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Then she will suggest methods and adjust them over time so the work fits the person's needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and situations. Video calls are good for full sessions that mirror in-person meetings. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or visual focus is a concern. Chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around busy lives.
