About Christanne

Christanne Brunner is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, and depression find practical strategies for change.

Background and approach

She draws on 12 years of professional experience to support clients navigating grief, parenting challenges, intimacy concerns, compassion fatigue, and issues related to gender and LGBT identity. Her work also addresses communication breakdowns, workplace stress, and women's issues with attention to realistic coping skills and emotional clarity.

Christanne blends evidence-informed methods to create an open, judgment-free setting where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and set achievable goals. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside solution-focused techniques and Gottman-informed interventions to strengthen communication and identify unhelpful thinking patterns.

Clients work collaboratively with her to build skills, address life transitions, and move toward more satisfying relationships and daily functioning. Practical guidance and steady support are central to her approach as she helps people discover their own resources for growth and resilience.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Christanne commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. She also draws on the Gottman Method to improve communication and emotional connection in relationships, using structured exercises and interaction-focused techniques to open new pathways for dialogue.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and life context, then adjusts methods as progress unfolds so that treatment matches evolving needs rather than following a fixed script.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for scheduling and for those balancing work, family, or other commitments. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver goal-focused interventions and real-time support while fitting therapy into everyday routines, making consistent progress more attainable for many clients.
