Chris Fischer, LPC

Chris Fischer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 20 years of experience in mental health. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, addictions, trauma, and relationship concerns. He aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters most to them.

He centers work around each person’s needs and goals. Sessions are shaped to help clients feel motivated and move toward practical change. He 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 support this work.

Chris has worked in Texas and other states, supporting people through crisis, grief, trauma, and ongoing mood concerns. He has experience with caregivers, chronic illness, parenting stress, and issues related to identity and intimacy. That background informs how he tailors sessions to daily life challenges.

In sessions he uses clear, straightforward tools and conversations. Clients can expect to learn coping skills, practice new ways of thinking, and try exercises that fit their situation. The counselor aims to help people build practical habits that reduce symptoms and improve relationships.

Beginning therapy can feel difficult, but Chris frames the process as a collaborative step toward better functioning. He invites people to share goals and work together on realistic plans for change.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Chris uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as core methods. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping during crisis.

He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people understand patterns in close relationships and strengthen emotional connection. EFT can be useful when work centers on attachment, intimacy, or recurrent relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That means trying tools, checking in about what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-in meetings when needed. It also lets people try exercises and skill-building in real-life settings between visits, which can make the work feel more practical and immediate.
