Chris Fischer

Chris Fischer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with more than 20 years in the mental health field. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, addictions, ADHD, and anger. Chris aims to build a respectful, client-centered relationship from the first session.

He frames therapy around what each person needs. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit daily life. Chris draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and the Gottman Method to guide that work.

Clients come for a range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, and relationship or family stress. He also supports people dealing with caregiving strain, chronic illness or pain, body image and eating issues, and the effects of separation or domestic violence.

Chris describes his style as collaborative and respectful. He listens for what matters most, then adapts techniques to match goals. That can mean skills practice, processing painful memories, or improving communication patterns.

He asks people to focus on concrete changes they want to make. Therapy is paced to the person and aims to increase coping, reduce intense reactions, and improve day-to-day functioning. To begin, clients follow the site’s Start Therapy steps to match and schedule a session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Chris often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thinking and practice new behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger management. He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness for people who feel overwhelmed by strong emotions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used when relationship patterns and attachment concerns are central, helping people identify and shift emotional responses that keep them stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and problems, then recommend techniques that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make practicing skills between sessions simpler, since tools and worksheets are easy to share and review during follow-up conversations with a licensed professional.
