About Christopher
Christopher Dockins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 18 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, and depression. Christopher emphasizes clients' strengths and treats people as experts in their own lives.
He uses straightforward conversation to help people make small but meaningful changes. Sessions look at patterns in relationships and feelings, and build practical steps to reduce worry and improve connection. He aims to make the work feel doable, not overwhelming.
Christopher draws on approaches that include attachment work, cognitive behavioral methods, emotionally-focused techniques, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies. He blends these tools to match what each person needs, rather than following a single method. The goal is to bring clearer thinking and calmer emotions into day-to-day life.
Many people seek him out for concerns linked to abandonment, codependency, communication problems, infidelity, fatherhood issues, and loneliness. He also addresses mood disorders, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. Sessions tend to be practical and oriented toward measurable change.
He accepts clients from within and outside the United States and conducts therapy in English. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.
How Christopher’s approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and reactions. In therapy this often means mapping interaction patterns, naming needs, and practicing clearer ways to ask for support, which can ease worry about closeness and abandonment.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions identify unhelpful thinking patterns, test them with real-life experiments, and build small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name core emotions and then shift how they respond in relationships. This approach supports deeper emotional understanding and improves communication patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting as progress is made.
