About Chris
Chris Goetz, LPC, helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship struggles, addiction, trauma, depression, and issues related to identity and family. She draws on 16 years of clinical work in Texas to offer steady, practical support. Her approach is direct and compassionate, aiming to find what’s under the problem and work from there.
Chris begins by listening to what matters most to each person. She uses clear, hands-on strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also brings attachment-based ideas to help people understand how past relationships influence present reactions. When intensity or emotional regulation is a concern, she adds dialectical behavior skills and motivational interviewing to build coping tools and strengthen motivation for change. Sessions focus on small, usable steps clients can try between meetings.
The work is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs. Her background includes long-term experience with trauma, emotional abuse, mood disorders, dissociation, and co-occurring substance concerns. That range informs how she tailors treatment plans and teaches skills for managing strong feelings like anger and despair.
People who choose Chris often want a therapist who is straightforward about goals and methods. She emphasizes practical problem solving, while also attending to deeper patterns of attachment and meaning. Her aim is to help people feel more in control of their reactions and more connected to their lives.

Approaches that guide online work and skill building
Chris integrates attachment-based therapy to help people see how early relationships shape current reactions and to rebuild safer ways of relating. That approach is useful for clients who notice repeated patterns in their relationships or who struggle with abandonment and attachment issues.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with more effective responses. CBT helps with anxiety, anger, depression, and coping strategies that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chris treats the choice of method as a collaboration and will adjust techniques based on a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they set goals, try interventions, and review what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow for face-to-face conversation and teaching new skills. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break or a busy day. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, ongoing coaching, and tracking progress between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into real-life schedules and to keep practicing tools when issues arise.
