About Chris
Chris Goetz is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 16 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem concerns, and related issues. She also works with people affected by bipolar disorder and a range of family and origin problems.
Her background began in premarital and marriage counseling, and that work still influences how she approaches relationships. Over the years she has supported people leaving the sex industry and those living with complex trauma, emotional abuse, and co-occurring substance use. She describes her work as focused on finding underlying causes and correcting distorted beliefs that keep people stuck.
In sessions she uses a mix of approaches rather than a single technique. Client-centered methods shape session tone, and psychodynamic ideas guide deeper exploration of patterns. She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and dialectical behavior therapy skills to address unhelpful thinking and build practical coping tools.
She has significant experience with dissociative symptoms and personality disorder presentations, and she is familiar with cultural differences that affect therapy. Chris has also used structured methods for grief and resiliency work in professional settings and with individual clients. Her stated aim is to help people identify roots of their problems and work toward healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.
People who choose to work with her can expect a direct, goal-focused approach that blends insight and skills. She adapts methods to the issues brought into sessions and pays attention to both immediate coping needs and longer-term pattern change.
How her approaches translate to online work
Chris uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns that formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current anger and closeness. That approach focuses on connection, repair, and building safer ways to relate when feelings run high.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions start from the client’s experience and priorities. This approach emphasizes being heard and working at a steady pace to understand what drives anger and what the client wants to change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common tool she uses online to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT helps people spot triggers, shift thinking, and practice concrete alternatives to reactive responses.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, combining insight-focused exploration with skill-building when that makes sense.
