About Cristan
Cristan Steimel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage anxiety and stress alongside other life challenges. She focuses on practical strategies that improve daily functioning and build resilience. Cristan speaks English and uses straightforward, hands-on methods in sessions.
Cristan works with adults and teens on issues such as ADHD, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting concerns, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and isolation.
Background and approach
Her work often includes helping clients strengthen self-esteem and clarify life purpose. Her style is warm and down-to-earth. Sessions emphasize what a person can do between meetings.
Cristan mixes client-centered listening with evidence-based tools to set small, achievable goals. She often uses mindfulness and solution-focused tasks to build daily routines and reduce overwhelm. She has five years of clinical experience in community and therapeutic settings.
That background informs a broad approach to emotional and practical needs, from managing compassion fatigue to navigating divorce and blended family challenges. Cristan frames therapy as a partnership where the client’s goals guide the work. Cristan offers a range of formats, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Getting started is a simple process that begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling the first session according to availability.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive therapeutic relationship. It helps people feel heard and shapes goals around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cristan collaborates with each client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they may try mindfulness practices, short solution-focused tasks, or CBT exercises and then adjust what works best.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for relational work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can fit short check-ins or on-the-go support. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
