About Christyn

Christyn Jaap is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who brings five years of counseling experience alongside eight years of prior work in school settings as a teacher, coach, and counselor.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a collaborative stance that recognizes each person as the expert in their own story, and she aims to draw out clients' existing strengths to help navigate challenges such as trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem concerns, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Her background includes work with a range of concerns tied to emotional regulation, identity, and interpersonal dynamics, and she approaches clients with a respectful, empowering attitude. Christyn combines evidence-informed methods with compassionate listening to help people explore patterns, manage distress, and make meaningful changes.

She invites clients to take courageous first steps toward a more satisfying life while offering steady support and practical tools along the way.

Integrating relational and parts-focused work in online therapy

Internal Family Systems offers a way to explore internal parts and the relationships between them, helping people notice and compassionately relate to different internal experiences that contribute to distress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client’s own goals so individuals feel heard and supported while they discover their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Christyn approaches that choice collaboratively. She will work with clients to consider goals, personal preferences, and what feels most comfortable, adjusting methods over time so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single technique.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules or mobility constraints. These options make it possible to engage in regular sessions, follow up between sessions, and apply therapeutic tools in everyday life while maintaining continuity with a licensed professional.
