About Chris

Chris Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with nine years of experience. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental place for teenagers and adults to talk about hard things. Many people come to her for help with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, anger, and struggles related to ADHD or HFASD.

She emphasizes a person-centered approach that treats each client as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as empathy and listening. Chris combines solution-focused work with tools that increase self-awareness and emotional regulation.

When strong feelings like guilt, shame, or overwhelm get in the way, she helps clients name those feelings and make sense of them. The goal is to reduce emotional intensity, restore balance, and find clearer ways forward. She also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, body image, and chronic illness or pain.

Chris uses several methods to match what a client needs and prefers. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered listening. Together with each person she looks for strategies that fit daily life and long-term goals.

Her style is steady and collaborative. She works at a pace that feels comfortable and practical. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, anger, and living with chronic stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises to change behavior and mood. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and patterns that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships when emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and day-to-day life. That plan can change as progress is made and new priorities appear.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online counseling helpful for fitting sessions into a busy schedule, shortening commute time, keeping appointments during travel, and making it easier to check in between obligations. Sessions can focus on skill practice, brief coaching between sessions, and paced emotional processing that suits the client's routine.
