01About Chris
Chris Fischer is a Licensed Professional Counselor working in Texas with two decades of experience in mental health. He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, and addiction. He also supports concerns around relationships, parenting, grief, and self-esteem.
He communicates plainly and aims to make first steps less overwhelming. He centers sessions on each person's needs. That means listening first, then building a plan that fits daily life.
Background and approach
He draws on practical methods to change thinking patterns and improve coping. Sessions are collaborative and geared toward usable skills rather than academic theory. Chris has experience across many settings and has worked with people who’ve faced crisis, loss, or long-term mood struggles.
That background informs how he helps with grief, chronic stress, caregiver strain, and challenges tied to illness or aging. He also addresses intimacy, body image, and control or communication problems. His toolbox includes cognitive and skills-based approaches, relationship-focused methods, and trauma work.
He will tailor techniques such as emotion-focused conversation or structured exercises to the problem at hand. The goal is steady progress through clear, manageable steps. People choosing him can expect direct, respectful dialogue and concrete practices to try between sessions.
He emphasizes short-term strategies for relief and longer-term habits for stability. The first meeting is about understanding priorities and mapping practical next steps.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It helps with anxiety, depression, and behavior patterns by teaching clear steps to change thinking and routine. DBT adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving moment-to-moment coping, useful for anger, self-regulation, and persistent distress. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that uses structured processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your goals, symptoms, and preferences and recommend methods that fit your situation. Decisions are collaborative and may combine techniques so the plan matches what you need now and what you want long term.
Online sessions offer practical benefits. Video calls let you work face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for short updates, coping support between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity when schedules change.
