Chris Fischer, LPC

Chris Fischer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 20 years of experience in the mental health field. He has spent over a decade working in Texas and prior years practicing in other states. His work covers stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting struggles, and anger-related issues.

He describes a client-centered approach that places the person's concerns first. Sessions focus on practical work that responds to what matters most to the client and their daily life. Techniques are chosen to help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and reduce problems that get in the way of relationships and responsibilities.

Chris uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and build more effective coping strategies. He also integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and relationship work informed by the Gottman Method when those tools match a person's goals.

Sessions commonly address practical issues like communication breakdowns, managing intense emotions, coping with grief, and reducing the impact of trauma symptoms on everyday functioning. He also helps with chronic conditions such as chronic pain, caregiver stress, and comorbid mental health concerns.

His style emphasizes direct, actionable strategies - short-term skills for immediate relief, paired with deeper work when needed. People who want straightforward, experience-based guidance for anger, relationship strain, mood symptoms, or stress may find this approach useful.
