About Chris

Chris Jones is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults and teenagers who struggle with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and ADHD. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than labels or blame.

She frames therapy around straightforward, person-centered conversation. Clients are invited to describe what is most troubling. Chris listens, reflects, and helps identify small changes that reduce reactivity and relieve day-to-day strain.

Her approach blends evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports noticing feelings without getting led by them.

Chris also draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy and client-centered methods to improve communication and connection when relationships are strained. She works with people wrestling with attachment or abandonment concerns, codependency, commitment or control issues, and blended family stress.

Practical problems such as chronic pain, caregiver stress, body image, dissociation, and the fallout from disasters are within her focus areas as well. The work tends to be solution-oriented: increase self-awareness, test new strategies, and practice different behaviors until they fit daily life.

People starting with anger often look at triggers, automatic reactions, and skills for de-escalation. Chris helps clients map those patterns and try alternatives that reduce snapping, resentment, and ongoing tension.

How sessions work

How Chris Uses Therapeutic Methods Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them. Online sessions can guide practical exercises to help a person clarify values and take committed steps toward them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. In video or phone conversations, CBT helps identify automatic reactions and then try small behavior experiments to see what changes responses to anger and anxiety.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Chris will discuss which approaches fit a person's goals and preferences and adjust the plan over time. That collaborative process aims to match skills to the situations that cause the most reactivity or distress.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people practice skills in everyday contexts. Therapists often use exercises, worksheets, and in-session coaching that translate well to remote appointments, which can help with managing triggers, reducing snap responses, and practicing de-escalation in real life.
