About Christine
Christine Mendez is a licensed professional counselor with experience across a range of life challenges. She practices with a direct, respectful style and helps people take practical first steps when stress, anxiety, or relationship strain feels overwhelming. Christine uses clear, everyday language so clients can focus on change rather than jargon.
She draws on 13 years of clinical work and holds LPC and LMHC credentials. Christine emphasizes the client’s own strengths and choices, treating each person as the expert in their own story. She encourages small, manageable actions that add up to meaningful shifts.
In sessions she mixes talk and skill-building to address problems like anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and codependency. Her approach blends evidence-informed techniques with an emphasis on emotions and values. She helps people map out concrete steps for things such as sleeping better, managing anger, or improving communication.
Christine also supports people facing identity and life-stage challenges, including LGBT concerns, parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and career transitions. Her work is practical and collaborative, focusing on what can be changed now.
Clients can expect straightforward feedback, opportunities to practice new skills, and help clarifying goals. The aim is to make therapy useful for day-to-day life, so progress shows up in ordinary moments as well as in sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and codependency by shifting attention from avoidance to meaningful behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical techniques to reduce unhelpful patterns such as worry or unhelpful coping in addiction. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotions and connection, helping people better understand and respond to strong feelings in relationships and in themselves.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try options, and adjust methods as needed. That means therapy plans can change as progress is made or new needs emerge.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Many people find that meeting remotely helps them practice skills in everyday settings and keeps momentum between sessions.
