Christopher Dockins , LPC

Christopher Dockins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 18 years of clinical experience. He has worked extensively with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and depression. Over nearly two decades his work has focused on helping clients navigate both everyday struggles and deeper emotional patterns that affect family life and close relationships.

Christopher approaches therapy from a perspective that honors each person as the expert of their own story. He looks for existing strengths and resources the client can use to address whatever is causing distress, and he supports clients as they take the often-difficult first steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life. Seeking change requires courage, and Christopher offers compassionate guidance and empowerment so clients can build on their strengths and move toward their goals.

He draws on evidence-informed methods and a collaborative stance, tailoring the therapeutic process to each individual’s needs and preferences. As an LPC, Christopher combines clinical knowledge with practical, empathetic support to help clients manage symptoms, repair relationships, and find clearer direction in life.

Attachment and Emotion-Focused Approaches Delivered Online

Christopher Dockins uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early bonds and relational patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses. This approach can be helpful for clients dealing with attachment issues, abandonment concerns, codependency, and recurring relationship conflicts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also part of his practice and focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, then developing practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used to help clients and couples understand and shift the emotional patterns that underlie relationship difficulties and to foster stronger emotional connection.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Christopher collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps clients feel involved and respected in shaping their care.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, connect from different locations, and maintain continuity of care. Licensed professionals, including Christopher, can adapt these approaches effectively for remote sessions to support progress toward personal and relational goals.
