About Christine

Christine Mendez is an LPC and LMHC who brings 13 years of clinical experience to her work in Texas. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and related concerns such as grief, intimacy difficulties, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with a broad range of relational and mental health challenges including communication problems, codependency, and coping with life changes. She approaches therapy from a collaborative, strengths-based perspective that centers the client's goals and lived experience.

Christine integrates evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with client-centered and emotionally focused techniques to tailor care to each individual's needs. This pragmatic blending supports practical skills for emotion regulation, behavioral change, and relationship repair while attending to deeper patterns and values.

Christine offers sessions in multiple online formats and adapts her style to match what a client finds most helpful. She emphasizes respectful, goal-oriented work that helps people build coping strategies, clarify values, and address specific concerns from career stress and parenting pressures to mood disorders and addiction-related difficulties.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise; it is useful for managing anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical coping strategies to change emotions and behaviors, which can help with depression, anxiety, and some addiction-related concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to the emotional bonds and interaction patterns in relationships and can support work on intimacy, communication, and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively to determine which methods fit a client's goals, preferences, and circumstances. Treatment often blends techniques so clients gain both immediate coping tools and deeper understanding of patterns that maintain problems.

Online therapy with Christine is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility around work, family, and location. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support in ways that fit a client's daily routine while working with a licensed professional.
