About Christine
Christine Mendez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Texas with 13 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, and related life challenges.
She frames clients as the experts on their own stories and works collaboratively to build on existing strengths. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and on naming emotions that can be hard to put into words. Christine uses approaches such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) depending on what best fits each person.
Her work includes addressing attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, codependency, and caregiver stress among other focused areas. She also supports people facing chronic illness, body image and eating issues, and career or parenting strain. The focus is on skills that help with everyday functioning and on understanding patterns that keep difficulties in place.
Christine aims for short, direct conversations during sessions that identify immediate coping steps and longer-term shifts. She encourages practical homework between sessions to practice new ways of responding. People who prefer a straightforward style and want to work on emotions, relationship patterns, or coping skills often find this approach useful.

How Christine uses EFT, ACT and CBT in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people put names to hard-to-describe emotions and see how those feelings shape relationship patterns and reactions. EFT is often used when emotions feel stuck or when patterns repeat in close relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical skills to change behavior and reduce distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether EFT, ACT, CBT, or a mix of these approaches fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can shift as progress is made and as priorities change.
Session format details are not specified in the profile, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, by removing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in on a break, or letting someone choose audio-only if they prefer not to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice to an online setting so the work continues between meetings.
