About Chris
Chris Goetz is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, relationship problems, and addiction. She brings 16 years of clinical experience and a steady, practical approach to sessions. Chris focuses on uncovering the root of problems and helping clients build skills to cope in daily life.
She uses clear, straightforward methods rooted in attachment work and client-centered care. Sessions often include cognitive behavioral techniques and strategies from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and problem solving.
Background and approach
Motivational interviewing is used when people are making changes around substance use or other habits. Chris has long experience with trauma, emotional abuse, and grief. She also works with mood disorders such as bipolar conditions and co-occurring substance concerns.
Her background includes work with people leaving the sex industry and with those facing complex mental health challenges such as dissociation and personality disorders. In sessions she listens first, then helps set small, concrete goals. People can expect a mix of skills practice, exploration of attachment patterns, and support for changing behaviors that cause distress.
She adapts the pace and tools to each person’s needs. Chris practices from Texas and conducts therapy in English. She aims to create a space where people can name their struggles, learn tools, and move toward greater stability and self-understanding.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early relationships shape current patterns. It focuses on how connections - or their absence - affect stress, safety, and closeness in adult relationships. Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the center of work. The therapist listens without judgement and supports each person to set their own goals and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to practice new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood.Choosing the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past experiences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try techniques, adjust the mix of approaches, and set clear, achievable steps to track progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging can support quick questions, ongoing reflection, or therapy between scheduled meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
