About Chris
Chris Goetz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 16 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and anger.
Chris draws on a mix of approaches in her sessions. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. She also uses client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that fuel anger or anxiety.
Her background includes substantial work with people facing severe trauma, emotional abuse, mood disorders, and substance use concerns. She has experience with dissociation and personality disorder presentations, and she has supported people coming out of the sex industry and from diverse cultural backgrounds.
In practical terms, sessions focus on naming the patterns that lead to outbursts or withdrawal, developing skills to manage strong feelings, and working on communication and relationship habits. She may bring in DBT skills and motivational interviewing when readiness for change or impulse control is central.
Clients can expect a direct, steady approach that balances discussion of past wounds with concrete strategies for day-to-day coping. Chris also offers trainings to first responders on critical incident response and mental health orientation, reflecting her interest in resilience and practical application of clinical skills.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early relationships shape how people react now. Online work can use this approach to track relationship triggers, attachment fears, and patterns that feed anger or withdrawal. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In an online session CBT techniques help identify unhelpful thoughts and rehearse different responses to reduce reactive behavior.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Chris will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. That discussion is collaborative and may shift as skills are learned or new challenges arise.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, remote work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel on a workday. It can also let a person practice new communication skills in settings that mirror their daily routine. Licensed professionals adapt exercises like DBT skills training and CBT homework to work effectively over distance.
