01About Chris
Chris Goetz is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship challenges. She draws on 16 years of experience to support people facing trauma, grief, parenting strain, eating concerns, and issues around identity and self-esteem. Her style is direct but warm.

Background and approach
Chris blends approaches to fit a person’s needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to unpack long-standing connection struggles. Cognitive behavioral strategies are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
She also draws on client-centered listening and motivational techniques to help people make changes that matter. Her background includes many years helping people with complex presentations, including mood disorders, substance use concerns, dissociation, and relationship ruptures. That experience informs careful pacing and attention to safety when trauma is part of the story.
People who choose her report a focus on building practical skills and clearer communication. Sessions move between exploring background and practicing new ways of coping. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier mood, and stronger relationships over time.

04Online support
How attachment work and CBT translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on connection patterns from earlier relationships. Online sessions use this approach to notice how past bonds affect current trust and closeness, and to practice new ways of relating that feel safer and more reliable.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. In virtual sessions this looks like tracking thoughts between meetings, doing brief in-the-moment experiments, and reviewing results together to build clearer thinking and steadier moods.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That plan can shift as progress is made or new needs appear, so therapy stays practical and focused on what matters most.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation and screen-shared worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good option when video is not possible or bandwidth is low. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, skill reminders, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or treatment schedules while still doing meaningful clinical work.
