About Christine
Christine Kobes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas who focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. She draws on eight years of clinical experience to help people navigate difficult transitions, process traumatic experiences, and manage mood-related concerns.
Background and approach
Her work also attends to related issues such as communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, women's issues, and workplace challenges. She creates a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings and collaborate on practical strategies for change.
Christine uses a mix of evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), client-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to tailor sessions to each person's needs. Her approach emphasizes empowerment, clear goals, and small steps that build toward longer-term wellbeing.
Clients who choose to work with her will find a therapist who values openness and partnership in the healing process, offering steady support while helping people develop skills to cope, communicate, and make meaningful changes in their lives.
How Christine's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where clients guide the topics and pace of work, which in online sessions helps people explore feelings and priorities from wherever they are. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers structured tools to identify thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and to practice new coping strategies, making it well suited to remote formats where homework and skill-building can be easily assigned and reviewed. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative conversational style that helps clarify motivation for change and resolve ambivalence, useful for clients working through life transitions or goal-setting in virtual sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works together with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment can evolve over time as goals become clearer and as progress is reviewed, keeping the plan responsive and personalized.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier around work and family commitments. These options support ongoing contact and allow clients to practice strategies between sessions in their everyday environments while maintaining regular therapeutic momentum.
