    About Christine

    Christine Kobes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through worries without judgment. Christine encourages small steps toward clearer goals and better day-to-day coping.

    Christine uses straightforward conversation to understand what matters most to each person. She draws on client-centered methods that focus on the person’s goals and values. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding to them.

    Over eight years of practice inform her approach, and she blends solution-focused ideas to keep sessions practical. That means setting concrete short-term goals and noticing small progress between meetings. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit when people need help finding the motivation to change behaviors or stick with new plans.

    Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Christine works with people to set manageable steps and to adapt strategies when life gets in the way. She emphasizes collaboration and clear next steps rather than long explanations.

    Her work is grounded in experience helping adults with workplace strain, relationship communication problems, guilt and shame, life purpose questions, and women’s issues. People who want help sorting feelings, improving daily functioning, and making realistic plans often find this approach helpful.

  2. Therapeutic approaches that guide online work

    Many clients find Motivational Interviewing helpful when they are unsure about making a change. It uses gentle questions to help people weigh options and build their own reasons for moving forward. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and supporting a person’s own goals and values. It helps when someone needs a space to sort feelings and decide what matters most.

    Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and how things are going. That collaboration may mean trying a few strategies and adjusting as progress is observed.

    Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins between longer sessions or to arrange meetings around work or family commitments. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current session options before booking to know what is offered and how sessions are scheduled.
