About Cristan

Cristan Steimel is an LPC based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship or family concerns. She draws on five years of clinical experience to offer practical strategies aimed at improving daily functioning, strengthening relationships, and supporting emotional recovery.

Background and approach

Clients seeking guidance with parenting, intimacy-related issues, career challenges, compassion fatigue, or life transitions can expect collaborative work toward realistic goals. Her style blends empathy with evidence-based tools, combining client-centered listening with structured techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are used to identify strengths, set achievable steps, and reinforce progress. Cristan also brings attention to complex needs such as chronic illness, disability, postpartum depression, autism spectrum concerns, and caregiver stress, tailoring interventions to each person’s situation.

Sessions aim to build resilience and practical coping skills while honoring each person’s experience. Cristan emphasizes creating an understanding, respectful environment where clients can explore emotions and develop strategies for lasting change.

To begin, interested clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and respect, helping people feel heard and guiding them to find their own solutions to relationship, parenting, or life-change challenges. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that support emotional regulation and coping with chronic illness or grief.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and daily realities, then adapt methods or combine techniques to suit individual needs. This cooperative planning helps ensure strategies feel relevant and realistic for the client’s situation.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines, maintain continuity during life transitions, and engage in ongoing skill practice between sessions. Licensed professionals can use these options to tailor pace and support while focusing on practical outcomes and resilience building.
