About Christyn
Christyn Jaap is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with five years of counseling experience. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and rebuild confidence. Christyn writes plainly and aims to make therapy understandable and doable for busy people.
Christyn draws on her time in school settings earlier in her career, where she worked as a teacher, coach, and counselor.
Background and approach
That background shaped her direct, supportive style and her interest in helping people through life changes, grief, and relationship struggles. She also helps clients who face trauma, shame, or difficulties with impulse control and mood swings. In sessions she uses familiar methods like client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques.
These approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and practice skills that reduce panic and obsessive thinking. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing to build calm and commitment to change. Christyn keeps goals clear and concrete.
She helps clients set manageable steps and checks progress each week. Conversations are collaborative - she asks about values, priorities, and what feels possible for day-to-day life. Her day-to-day work includes concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting stress, compulsive behaviors, and career or money worries.
She offers various online formats to fit different schedules and preferences.
Practical approaches adapted for online care
Christyn commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening, reflecting what matters to the person, and building from their strengths to set realistic goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to reduce panic, anxiety, and compulsive patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to match methods to goals and preferences, testing what helps and adjusting as needed. That way the plan reflects what a person values and what works in daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates, tracking progress, or quick coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines while keeping a steady connection with a licensed professional.
