About Christopher
Christopher Dockins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 18 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and depression. He also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment problems, codependency, and communication struggles.
Christopher encourages clients to draw on their own strengths and life experience. He treats clients as the expert on their story and partners with them to identify practical steps forward. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills that can be used between meetings.
His approach draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other methods. Christopher uses emotion-focused work to help name difficult feelings and to change patterns that keep people stuck. He also brings mindfulness and solution-focused strategies when they fit the situation.
Expect straightforward conversations about what is causing distress and what can be done differently. He often helps people sort through guilt, shame, impulsivity, or feelings of emptiness, and supports those managing relationship ruptures, infidelity, or separation. He also offers support around fatherhood and veteran-related issues.
Sessions aim to develop clearer communication, more balanced thinking, and calmer responses to stress. Christopher recommends following up on small practice steps between sessions to build lasting change.

How EFT, attachment work and CBT translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) emphasizes identifying and naming core emotions and the interaction patterns they create. Online work with EFT usually focuses on recognizing these patterns in real time and trying new ways of responding to them. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonding shapes current relationships and helps people notice how those patterns show up now and what can shift.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. CBT online often uses short practice tasks and thought records that can be reviewed between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to select which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean leaning more on emotion-focused work for relationship patterns, or using CBT tools to manage anxiety and mood. This is a shared decision made over the first few sessions.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera, which can help people with limited bandwidth or a tight schedule.
