About Christopher
Christopher Dockins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 18 years of experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and depression. Christopher also notes additional focus areas including codependency and attachment issues among other relationship-related challenges.
He begins by listening to each person’s story and identifying strengths they already have. Sessions aim to make small, concrete changes that feel manageable. Christopher presents ideas clearly and helps clients try them out between meetings.
His approach draws on tools from attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and emotionally-focused therapy. He also uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to address mood and relationship patterns. Those methods are described in plain terms and applied to everyday problems such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, and feeling stuck after separation.
Christopher emphasizes collaboration. He helps people name patterns like codependency or avoidance, then tests practical steps to change those patterns. He encourages experimenting with new behaviors and noticing what does or does not work.
People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation and concrete next steps. The focus is on what can be changed now, building on strengths, and learning clearer ways to communicate and set boundaries.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape patterns. It looks at recurring reactions in close relationships and helps identify ways to feel and respond differently. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to test new ways of thinking. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name emotions in relationships and try new ways of connecting that reduce conflict.Christopher will work with clients to decide which approaches fit best. He treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts methods based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can change as progress is measured and as different issues appear in sessions.

They may also allow shorter check-ins or let someone avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can use these formats to focus on coping skills, boundary practice, and communication exercises that translate into day-to-day life.
