About Christi

Christi Nelson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 19 years of experience supporting people through life’s challenges. As an LPC she holds a credential for providing professional mental health counseling in Texas, and she draws on nearly two decades of clinical work with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship and family concerns, parenting struggles, career questions, trauma and abuse, and issues related to caregiving and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental; she prioritizes respect and sensitivity while helping clients clarify goals and build practical skills. Christi blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, existential reflection, and mindfulness practices to create treatment plans tailored to each person’s situation and values. This combination supports both short-term coping and longer-term personal growth.

Christi works with people facing issues such as abandonment, codependency, substance use, communication problems, isolation, guilt and shame, and first responder stress. She takes a collaborative stance, partnering with clients to identify priorities, develop strategies, and adapt the plan as needs evolve. Her style is straightforward and encouraging, focused on helping clients find direction, regain balance, and build resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic relationship in which the client’s perspective guides the work. It helps people feel heard, clarify values, and build self-directed solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact and offers concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for impulsivity, intense emotions, and relationship difficulties.



Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christi collaborates with clients to assess needs, try strategies, and refine the plan so methods align with personal goals and preferences. This collaborative stance helps ensure that therapy feels relevant and useful.



Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from home or other convenient locations. Many clients find the variety of formats helpful for matching communication style and therapeutic needs.
