Christina Burden, LPC

Christina Burden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience helping people through major life changes and emotional challenges. She focuses on common concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, and stress. Her approach is warm and open, inviting people to talk honestly about what they are facing.

Christina listens closely to each person's story and works with them to build useful skills. She helps people improve mood regulation, manage workplace stress, and handle relationship difficulties. Practical tools and clear communication skills are a regular part of sessions.

She also supports people dealing with issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, aging and geriatric concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, and caregiving stress. Christina names body image, chronic illness or pain, cancer, and codependency among areas she addresses. She takes a nonjudgmental stance toward diverse sexual interests and alternative sex culture, including BDSM and kink, and helps people talk about those topics openly.

Christina draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques in her work and uses methods that match each person's needs. She aims to help clients grow self-acceptance, strengthen communication, and develop resilience. Sessions emphasize practical steps people can use between meetings.

She practices in Texas and conducts therapy in English. Christina encourages those ready to seek support to take the first step toward clearer goals and better coping.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Christina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral approaches and Narrative methods. Cognitive Behavioral approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses to reduce anxiety and low mood. Narrative methods focus on the stories people tell about themselves and help rewrite those stories to support new behavior and stronger self-worth.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. She works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they will try approaches, review what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, offering shorter check-ins when needed and cutting travel time. It also allows people to meet from locations that reduce disruption to their day. Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered, and discuss with the therapist how to schedule sessions that work with your routine.
