About Christie

Christie Jacobus is an LPC based in Texas who supports people facing relationship and family concerns as well as a wide range of emotional and life challenges.

Background and approach

With 17 years of clinical experience, she works with issues such as intimacy-related problems, communication difficulties, coping with life changes, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, depression, and ADHD.

She also focuses on blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, body image, chronic illness and pain, fertility concerns, infidelity and forgiveness, midlife transitions, and related family-of-origin matters. Her style blends client-centered listening with structured, problem-solving techniques.

Christie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered principles and solution-focused strategies, and she draws on the Gottman Method when working through relationship patterns. This mix allows her to combine empathic understanding with concrete tools for change, helping clients build practical coping skills and improved patterns of interaction.

Clients find that her background and steady approach help clarify priorities and create actionable steps toward goals. She offers services in English and practices within Texas as an LPC, guiding people toward greater resilience and clearer choices while respecting each person’s pace and values.

Practical approaches and online options for relationship and life challenges



Christie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing emotions and behavior; this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering empathic listening and collaborative support that helps people explore values, build self-understanding, and find their own solutions. When relationship dynamics are central, elements of the Gottman Method can be used to examine interaction patterns and teach communication and repair strategies that improve connection and reduce conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christie works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so sessions stay aligned with the client’s priorities and progress.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and accessibility for those with busy lives or mobility limitations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to use therapy in ways that fit daily routines while still working toward meaningful change.
