Chris Fischer, LPC

Chris Fischer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with more than 20 years in the mental health field. He has extensive experience helping people manage depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma and post-traumatic stress, and crisis-related concerns. He also supports people facing relationship and family challenges, grief, addictions, and parenting strains.

Chris uses a client-centered approach that emphasizes respect and collaboration. He builds each counseling plan around what matters to the person in front of him. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce distress and build skills that fit everyday life.

He draws on a range of methods to match individual needs, including cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, emotionally-focused work, EMDR, and principles from the Gottman Method. Interventions are chosen to address symptoms, patterns, and relationship dynamics in concrete ways.

Over two decades of practice have included work in Texas and other states. That breadth of experience has shaped a flexible style that adapts to different backgrounds and challenges. Clients can expect clear goals, measurable steps, and attention to strengths as well as difficulties.

People who contact Chris typically want focused help with stress, mood problems, trauma, or relationship strains. He aims to make the first steps straightforward: gather information, set priorities, and agree on a plan that can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online approaches that match where you are

Chris frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on clear steps to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.

He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT strategies can help when strong emotions or relationship conflicts get in the way of daily life.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are used when relationship patterns and attachment needs are central. EFT helps people understand how emotions shape interactions and works toward safer emotional connection.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about what you want to accomplish, try methods that fit your goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and therapist set priorities together and review progress as they go.
