More about Christie
- 13 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
Welcome! My name is Christie Jacobus and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Board approved Supervisor (LPC-S) in the state of Texas. I have been a therapist for over 12 years serving a variety of clients in both public agencies and private practice. I have experience with individuals, families, and groups experiencing challenges related to relationship and family concerns, parenting issues, and career conflicts. Additionally, I have over 30 years of experience as a Registered Nurse and I understand the correlation between physical and emotional health, and I have worked with many clients to improve their health and wellness. I also have experience working with domestic violence, physical and emotional trauma.
I love working with people and my approach to counseling is to work together to help clients grow and become the best version of themselves. I use a variety of skills and interventions based on cognitive behavioral, client centered and solution -based therapies. Since each client is unique, we will collaborate to meet the needs and goals of the person. I think every individual is entitled to compassion, dignity and respect. Open and honest communication in a warm non threatening environment is key to our success.
It can be difficult to ask for help and finding the right fit for a counselor is very important. I wish you success on having a more healthy and vibrant life and if I can be of assistance, I welcome the opportunity to share the journey.
Thank you

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Christie is hands down the most compassionate and empathetic counselor I’ve ever had. I always walk away feeling empowered.
Thank you Christie!! You are amazing, as per usual. Thank you for always meeting me where I'm at.
Christie does great in wanting to know how to help you in the best way that works for you. She sends helpful worksheets and discusses goals for the week etc. Grateful for her approach.
Christie is incredible. She listens, is patient, cares as a friend would and gives many resources and perspectives. Never a better counseling experience than this!
Christie is amazing! I've been working with her for over 2 years now, and am WAY better off for it! So grateful for her support, guidance, and listening ear. I couldn't have hit my goals and worked through issues so quickly without her. Thank you Christie!!! :)
Christi clearly cares about her patients and is quick to pick up on patterns in someone’s life or to identify if there are missing pieces to a story and yet balances that without placing pressure to share more until her client is ready.
The best!!
Amazing counselor!
The best!!!!!
Fantastic!
She is great and listens to me every time. I never had to worry about anything or her judging like I have had to in the past
Great listen and an even better advisor. Expresses the fruits of the spirit in her line of work. Especially Love and Patience.
She’s been amazing. I went into this with an open mind and new perspective. She’s definitely been amazing at helping me examine myself as well as the direction I want to go. She makes her intentions known from the beginning and is always ready with what I need.
Christie had been so wonderful and accommodating. Looking forward to talking with her more.
I have just begun my counseling journey with Christie and I wish we had met sooner!!! Christie is very kind, warm and understanding. I am in the counseling field myself and I appreciate how she views me as any other client and is sensitive to my needs. She is readily available and always eager to listen. Highly Recommend! :D
Christie has been a big help to me. Not only is she a good listener and guidance counselor, but she asks me what I need from her. This is something I’ve never been asked before from a therapist. I plan to continue working with her and highly recommend her!
Christie is very relatable and i feel comfortable with her. Ive had other counselors who i felt were just giving me text book answers and not really care about what i was discussing. Christie is good at listening and trying to help find the best solution for my problems. She responds quickly.
Christie is fantastic! She is very understanding and easy to talk to. She's super quick to respond, and sends great exercises to help with different areas of my life that I'm struggling with at the moment. Very thankful for her support!
Christie has been a great counselor for me. She responds to me quickly when I want to get my thoughts out by messaging her, but she’s also available by phone. I feel like I can trust her and unravel what’s going on in my head in a way that I can’t with friends or family.
