Christanne Brunner

Christanne Brunner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, depression, anger, and concerns related to LGBTQ issues. Her style aims to make clients feel heard and respected so they can start making changes that matter.

Christanne draws on practical methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify patterns and try new ways of responding. She also uses techniques from the Gottman Method to open communication pathways in relationships. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented, so clients leave with concrete next steps to practice between meetings.

She believes people already have strengths to build on and that therapy is a place to practice new skills safely. Sessions include talking through current problems, testing small behavior changes, and tracking what helps. The work often focuses on improving communication, managing strong emotions like anger, and coping with life transitions such as grief or workplace stress.

Christanne has 12 years of overall professional experience. She emphasizes compassion fatigue, parenting stresses, intimacy-related concerns, and self-esteem work as part of everyday life challenges she addresses. The aim is practical relief and clearer choices, not quick fixes.

People interested in starting are encouraged to consider what they want to change most. From there she helps set goals and a plan for progress over time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Christanne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT works well for anxiety, stress, and depression by breaking problems into small, manageable steps and practicing new responses.

The Gottman Method she uses focuses on improving communication between partners. It teaches practical skills for reducing conflict, increasing understanding, and rebuilding connection in relationships.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes brief, goal-oriented work. Sessions look at what is already working and build small, concrete steps toward the client's goals, which can be helpful when time is limited or a focused plan is needed.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online counseling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support continuity during relocation or schedule changes. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while working toward clearer communication and better emotional regulation.
