About Cristan
Cristan Steimel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults, teens, and parents facing life changes and relationship strain. Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, parenting challenges, grief, and questions about life purpose.
She focuses on practical strategies that help people cope day to day. Sessions emphasize problem solving, emotion regulation, and building routines that support functioning. Cristan offers mindfulness practices and cognitive tools to reduce overwhelm and improve focus.
Her background includes supporting people with chronic illness, developmental and physical disabilities, and caregiver stress. She also works with those managing blended family issues, posttraumatic stress, postpartum depression, and the effects of isolation or major life disruptions. Those seeking help with career direction or intimacy-related concerns may find relevant focus areas here.
In the room she combines client-centered conversation with structured techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work. Motivational interviewing helps when clients want to make changes but feel stuck. Mindfulness practices are used to calm racing thoughts and expand awareness of choices.
Cristan aims to help clients build practical coping skills and clearer next steps. Her approach is direct and collaborative, prioritizing small, measurable changes that fit into a busy life. People who want concrete tools and steady support during transitions may prefer this way of working.
Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps people feel heard and clarifies priorities before moving to specific strategies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into manageable parts by examining thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and it provides practical skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus, useful for overwhelm and ADHD-related distractibility.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Cristan will collaborate with each person to test methods, adjust techniques, and choose what fits the client's goals and day-to-day life. That process is practical and iterative rather than fixed from the start.
The original profile did not specify which remote formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy schedule, make it easier to attend short check-ins, and reduce travel time. Remote work can also let a client try skills in real contexts and bring those experiences back into sessions for review and adjustment.
