About Christine
Christine Mendez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common life strains like stress and anxiety, relationship problems, addictions, grief, and anger. Christine works with people facing parenting challenges, sleep or eating concerns, ADHD, and career stress as well.
She begins by listening to each person's story and identifying strengths already present. Sessions are practical and direct. Christine uses straightforward conversation to clarify patterns that keep problems repeating and looks for small, doable changes to try between meetings.
Her work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to look at thoughts and actions, acceptance and commitment methods to help people live by their values, and client-centered conversation that keeps the person's priorities central. She also integrates elements from dialectical behavior approaches and emotionally focused ideas when those fit the concern.
Christine has particular experience with trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue from caregiving roles. She also takes on longer lists of concerns like bipolar symptoms, attachment and abandonment issues, blended family stress, and chronic illness challenges. Her range means she often helps people who are juggling multiple struggles at once.

How sessions work
How Christine uses practical therapies online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that line up with what matters most. It is often used for anxiety, anger, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and testing small changes; it can help with stress, sleep, eating, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience in conversation, giving space for someone to make their own decisions while the therapist reflects and clarifies.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Christine will discuss these methods with clients and decide collaboratively which techniques fit the person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That choice may change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use different formats for practical reasons - for example a phone session when bandwidth is limited, or a video session to work through exercises that benefit from visual cues. Discussing how sessions will be scheduled helps ensure therapy fits into everyday life.
