About Christina

Christina Teel-Gonzales is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 28 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, career transitions, relationship challenges, family dynamics, parenting issues, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She emphasizes practical skills that clients can use in daily life and adapts her work to each person’s circumstances and goals. Her approach draws on client-centered principles, cognitive behavioral techniques, and solution-focused strategies to address both short-term challenges and longer-standing patterns.

Christina earned her master’s degree in Counseling and Guidance from Texas State University and holds a bachelor’s degree in Human Resource Management from the University of Texas, bringing a blend of counseling theory and pragmatic problem-solving to her practice.

She maintains virtual independent practice and sees clients online from her base in Texas, while accepting international clients as well. Outside of work she spends time with family and has lived and traveled abroad, experiences that inform her cultural perspective and understanding of life transitions.

Christina welcomes inquiries from people seeking to build coping skills, navigate change, and find clearer paths forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Client-centered therapy emphasizes understanding the client’s perspective and creating a collaborative, empathetic relationship that supports personal growth and decision-making. It is useful for people seeking a supportive space to explore values, identity, and life choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. This approach offers concrete skills and exercises that clients can practice between sessions to make measurable progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process; the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they may draw on client-centered listening, cognitive techniques, or solution-focused strategies to tailor a practical plan.

Online therapy provides flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules or different time zones. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver ongoing support, skill-building, and problem-solving from wherever the client is located, helping maintain continuity of care and adapt to changing circumstances.
