About Chris

Chris Jones is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with nine years of clinical experience in Texas. She works with teenagers and adults who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health. Common concerns she addresses include anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, and ADHD.

She favors a person-centered approach that treats clients as the experts on their own lives. Sessions usually focus on practical steps and clearer patterns of thinking and behavior. Chris blends solution-focused work with listening to help people make sense of intense feelings like guilt, shame, or overwhelm.

In sessions she helps people identify small, doable changes that can reduce stress and improve daily functioning. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and dialectical behavior strategies to manage strong emotions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques are also used to clarify values and guide actions that matter to the client.

Chris has worked with issues connected to attachment, abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and commitment worries. She also supports people coping with chronic pain, illness, disability, and dissociation, offering practical ways to handle setbacks and maintain routines.

Her style combines listening with concrete planning. She aims to help people rebuild steadier routines, improve emotion regulation, and practice new relationship skills. For someone feeling unsure what comes next, she focuses on clarifying next steps rather than promising a fixed outcome.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. Online sessions can use ACT exercises to help someone decide what matters now and plan realistic next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. Over video or phone, CBT tools include thought records, behavioral experiments, and homework to practice between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chris will collaborate with clients to determine which methods fit their goals and daily life. That means trying techniques, checking how they feel, and adjusting what is practiced together. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling around work, school, or caregiving by removing travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and can focus exercises that translate well to a phone or video call, such as breathing practices, emotion regulation skills, and planning homework between meetings.
