About Christine

Christine Jeffries is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 16 years of experience based in Texas. She focuses on relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, and depression. Christine helps people develop coping strategies to manage day-to-day difficulties and move toward clearer routines and steadier moods.

She centers on practical steps in sessions. Conversations often include learning coping skills, practicing communication techniques, and setting small, achievable goals. Sessions aim to make problems easier to manage rather than offering quick fixes.

Christine works with a broad range of related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, and caregiving stress. She also addresses chronic illness and pain, cancer-related distress, codependency, and problems with commitment or control. This helps when multiple stressors interact in someone’s life.

Her approach is rooted in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. That means using methods shown by research to help with mood, trauma, and relationship difficulties. Christine adapts these methods into straightforward practices people can use between sessions.

Sessions are conversational and task-focused. Clients can expect concrete takeaways such as coping tools, communication exercises, and short plans to practice outside of therapy. The goal is steady progress through manageable steps rather than overwhelming change.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on concrete skills and clear steps. For example, cognitive-focused exercises help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try alternative responses; these are useful for depression, anxiety, and mood swings. Practical coping strategies teach breathing, grounding, and short behavioral experiments to test new ways of handling stressful moments.

Learning communication techniques is another common focus. These techniques break down conversations into simple skills to practice, such as starting a difficult talk or setting small boundaries. They can help with relationship strain and problems that come from misunderstandings or repeated conflict.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about what feels most relevant, try a method for a few sessions, and adjust based on what helps. This keeps the work practical and aligned with the person's goals and preferences.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone join from a quieter setting or choose an option that doesn’t require being on camera, depending on what the therapist provides.
