Christine Mendez, LPC, LMHC

Christine Mendez is a licensed counselor with 13 years of experience. She holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential and the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential and works from Texas. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people facing stress, anxiety, relationships, and addiction concerns.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She treats each person as the expert on their life and uses that perspective to shape goals and steps forward. Sessions are aimed at clear, manageable skills and next steps rather than long lectures or vague theory.

Christine draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice what matters and build small habits toward it. Client-centered techniques are used to keep the process grounded in each person’s values and pace.

She has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, ADHD, and career stress. Additional focus areas include attachment and communication problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and blended family issues.

Sessions are offered in English and are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary with location and are billed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Practical approaches for online counseling and everyday life

Christine commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and problems with routines by turning patterns into concrete steps to try.

She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and building small habits toward them. ACT helps when feeling stuck by teaching ways to accept difficult thoughts while still taking meaningful action.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then recommend one or a mix of approaches. This is a collaborative process that can shift as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is helpful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can fit a break at work or use less bandwidth, and chat or text works well for short check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
