About Chris

Chris Fischer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with more than 20 years in the mental health field. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, mood disorders, addiction, trauma, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He uses practical, evidence-informed methods and a respectful, client-focused stance in each meeting.

Chris draws on a variety of approaches to meet each person’s needs. He commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Background and approach

He also brings Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotional regulation and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for processing traumatic memories. Sessions are shaped around what a person wants to accomplish. Chris listens first, identifies doable steps, and teaches skills people can use between meetings.

He often blends techniques from CBT, DBT, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are part of the concern. Over two decades of work have included care for depression, bipolar conditions, ADHD, substance concerns, and trauma or abuse. He has experience helping people with caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and communication problems as well.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches that work in online sessions

Chris commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and EMDR into online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and it is useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which helps when people struggle with mood swings or relationship conflict. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing helps people process traumatic memories and reduce the ways those memories disrupt daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then use an agreed mix of methods. This collaborative planning helps match techniques like CBT, DBT, or EMDR to what will be most useful for the issue at hand.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or use less data. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill coaching between appointments, or when typed words feel easier. These options make it simpler to access ongoing care and maintain momentum between sessions.
