About Christyn
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of counseling experience, Christyn Jaap helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and parenting challenges. She has a background in school settings and has worked with children and adolescents as a teacher, coach, and counselor. Sessions are conducted in English and guided by practical, conversational methods.
Christyn believes people know important parts of their own story and brings that assumption into sessions. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, and mindfulness techniques to reduce moment-to-moment stress. She also draws on motivational interviewing and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship issues are present.
Her school experience spans eight years, beginning as a teacher and coach before moving into a counseling role. That background shaped how she interacts with younger clients and families and informed her approach to behavioral and academic stressors. She reports working often with issues like trauma, motivation, confidence, and self-perception in children and adolescents.
With adults she takes a similar practical approach. Conversations focus on what is happening now, patterns that keep problems going, and small skills to try between sessions. Common topics include grief and loss, relationship repair, coping with life changes, and mood regulation.
Christyn describes counseling as a cooperative effort. She helps people name goals, test new responses, and measure what is or is not working. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the fit feels.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client; online sessions can use that same conversational style to clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and homework, which work well over video or phone because the therapist can review thought records and assign brief tasks between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve focus, and these practices can be led and practiced together during a remote session.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust methods based on what helps. Expect the clinician to check in about how techniques are working and to shift focus when needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote work helps fit sessions into busy days, allows for shorter check-ins when needed, and makes it easier to practice skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT worksheets, mindfulness practices, and relationship exercises to remote appointments so therapy tasks fit into everyday life.
