About Chris
Chris Fischer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 20 years of work in mental health. He has practiced in multiple states and has long experience helping people with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, addictions, and relationship concerns. He also addresses issues like grief, parenting stress, self-esteem, and codependency-related patterns.
He uses straightforward, goal-focused methods in sessions. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EMDR, and the Gottman Method to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. Sessions look at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that keep problems going and practice small changes that can feel manageable.
Chris has worked with people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, grief after loss, and problems connected to attachment and abandonment. He also supports those coping with anger, body image concerns, and intimacy-related issues. His background includes crisis work and helping victims of crime, which shapes his approach to trauma and recovery.
In sessions he focuses on practical skills and clearer communication. He helps people set boundaries, manage urges, reduce overwhelming thoughts, and repair strained relationships. Many people find step-by-step skills and structured exercises useful alongside talking through experiences.

How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. Online sessions can include worksheets, behavioral experiments between meetings, and skill rehearsals that help reduce anxiety, depression, and people-pleasing patterns. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. These tools can be shown, practiced, and reviewed in remote sessions to help with intense moods, self-control, and boundary-setting.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and what methods feel most useful. That way they decide together whether to emphasize CBT skills, DBT strategies, EFT work on attachment and emotions, or EMDR techniques for trauma-linked memories.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered online, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins can be scheduled on a lunch break, sessions avoid travel time, and materials can be shared digitally for practice between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and communication styles so therapy fits practical needs without promising a particular format.
