About Christyn
Christyn Jaap is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of counseling experience. She lists work with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and other life stresses among her areas of focus.
She has a background in schools, where she spent eight years as a teacher, coach, and then a school counselor. That experience shaped how she talks with young people, and she also works with adults who bring grief, loss, trauma, or relationship struggles to sessions.
Christyn uses clear, practical conversations to help people sort out what matters to them. She centers the client’s perspective and looks for strengths that can be built on. Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings and on reflecting about what is working or not.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy for listening and collaboration, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and elements of mindfulness to help with stress and strong emotions. She also integrates methods from Motivational Interviewing and the Gottman Method when relationship concerns are part of the work.
People who choose her often want straightforward help with day-to-day challenges like panic or social anxiety, coping after loss, repairing trust, or improving self-esteem. She asks questions, offers observations, and helps set small, manageable goals for change.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaborating with the client to clarify goals and values. In practice this means time in early sessions is spent reflecting what matters and deciding what to work on next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and homework. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns and gives concrete tools to practice between meetings.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Christyn will talk with the client about what feels right and combine techniques that match the person's needs, goals, and preferences rather than sticking to a single method. That way the plan can shift if something isn’t helpful.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as the profile does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or letting people meet from places with quieter surroundings. These practical benefits can help maintain consistency and make it simpler to try new skills between appointments.
