Christina Burden

Christina Burden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with twenty years of experience. She focuses on guiding people through grief, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Christina aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly about what matters to them.

Her work often centers on practical skills for managing mood and stress. She helps people develop clearer communication habits and stronger coping strategies. Christina also supports those dealing with caregiver strain, chronic illness, cancer, and the emotional effects of aging.

Christina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients identify unhelpful patterns and build new ways of thinking and acting. She draws on approaches that encourage people to tell and reframe their life stories while also trying concrete behavior changes. Sessions are collaborative and focused on goals the person finds meaningful.

People seek her help for relationship concerns, social anxiety, body image issues, and the fallout from adoption, abandonment, or blended family stress. She also works with people navigating kink and alternative sexual cultures with respect and without judgment.

Christina describes therapy as a team effort. She works with each person to build resilience, improve emotional regulation, and reach personal goals at a pace that feels manageable.

Approaches that translate to online care

Christina uses evidence-based techniques that can be adapted to remote sessions. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Narrative-influenced work helps people tell, examine, and reframe the stories they tell about themselves, which can ease grief and relationship stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what feels most helpful, then tailor techniques to those needs. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust work as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions also make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, while the therapist and client work together to shape practical plans that suit everyday routines.
