About Chris
Chris Fischer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 20 years in the mental health field. He works with people facing anxiety, stress, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, trauma, and relationship struggles.

Chris centers sessions on each person's needs. He listens and helps clients set clear goals for change. Therapy focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions to manage symptoms and improve daily life.
Background and approach
He draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and the Gottman Method. Those methods are used to address mood problems, trauma, relationship strain, and patterns that keep people stuck. Over two decades of practice in Texas and other states has given him experience with a wide range of concerns.
He has helped people coping with grief, parenting strain, caregiving stress, chronic illness, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. He also supports people navigating attachment and abandonment issues and complicated family dynamics. Sessions are designed collaboratively so goals and techniques fit each person's life.
Chris emphasizes skills practice, clear communication, and steady progress. He aims to walk alongside clients as they work toward more manageable days and healthier relationships.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Chris commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when appropriate. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and relationship conflict. EMDR involves guided processing of traumatic memories to reduce their emotional impact and can help with post-traumatic stress and related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about their concerns, goals, and preferences, then recommend or combine methods that seem to fit. That collaborative process helps shape a plan people can try out and adjust over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and full conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, skills practice, or shorter conversations between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep consistent progress.
