About Cristan
Cristan Steimel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing relationship strain, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, and life changes. She also supports those managing ADHD, depression, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related concerns. Her focus includes practical skills to steady everyday life and strengthen connections with others.
Cristan works with teens, adults, and families affected by developmental or physical disabilities and chronic medical conditions. She listens for what feels most urgent and then helps people set small, achievable goals. Sessions emphasize tools that can be used between meetings to ease daily pressures and improve functioning.
Her approach blends client-centered conversation with strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. She often uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help people find workable next steps. The goal is to build coping skills and resilience rather than offering quick fixes.
Cristan values clear, practical plans. She helps people break down big problems into manageable actions. That can mean simple stress-management routines, ways to handle family conflict, or step-by-step plans for returning to work or school.
She brings five years of counseling experience to the work and aims to make sessions feel collaborative and goal-focused. People meet her to get emotional support, concrete strategies, and a steady presence while they work toward change.
How Cristan’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s needs and goals at the center. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps you decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers clear techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away, which helps with anxiety and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cristan will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That means checking in about what helps, adjusting techniques, and setting practical tasks between sessions to test new ways of coping.
