About Chris
Chris Fischer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 20 years of experience in the mental health field. He has worked in multiple states and brings long-term clinical experience to address common and complex concerns. Chris focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, trauma, relationship and family issues, grief, parenting strain, and related challenges.
He works in a client-centered way that begins with listening to what matters most. Sessions focus on clear goals and day-to-day strategies clients can use between meetings. Chris draws on practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and elements of the Gottman Method when helpful.
Clients often come with overlapping problems like chronic pain, caregiving stress, body image concerns, codependency, or difficulty with communication. Chris helps people sort priorities, develop coping skills, and make small changes that add up. Treatment may include skill practice, thought-pattern work, emotion-focused interventions, or trauma processing depending on the issue.
Work is aimed at improving daily functioning, stabilizing mood, and reducing intense reactions to stress. Chris also supports people dealing with illness, aging-related concerns, divorce and separation, and the emotional fallout of abusive experiences. He speaks English and practices from Texas as an LPC.

How his approaches translate to online work
Chris uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people identify and work through hard-to-name emotions and attachment-related patterns. EFT focuses on how emotions shape relationships and personal responses, and it can be helpful for people wanting to understand their emotional reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions, improving emotion regulation, and reducing impulsive behavior.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about the problem, try an approach, and adjust based on what fits the client's needs and goals. That means sessions can mix emotion-focused work, skill-building, and trauma-focused techniques as needed.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the original biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people use sessions while managing caregiving or work demands without a long commute. The therapist will discuss practical scheduling and format details during the matching and intake process to find what works best.
