About Chris

Chris Goetz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem struggles, and mood conditions such as bipolar.

Background and approach

She also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment problems, codependency, communication breakdowns, caregiver stress, and family-of-origin difficulties. With 16 years of clinical experience, Chris draws on a broad set of focus areas to support clients confronting both co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns.

Her clinical style emphasizes collaboration and tailoring interventions to each person’s needs. Chris blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with attachment-based and client-centered practices, and she integrates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and motivational interviewing when useful.

This flexible approach helps her address trauma, interpersonal patterns, and skills-based coping alongside deeper emotional work. She works in English and maintains a practice in Texas, offering multiple session formats to fit varied schedules and preferences.

How evidence-informed approaches translate to online care



Chris commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is practical for addressing anxiety, depression, and many stress-related patterns. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relational patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses, which can be helpful for people dealing with abandonment, codependency, or family-of-origin issues.

Finding the right blend of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to weigh goals, strengths, and preferences and then adjusts techniques over time so therapy aligns with changing needs and progress.

Online therapy with Chris is offered through multiple formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support without a commute, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor sessions to each client's preferred way of engaging.
