As a culturally competent, client-centered therapist I provide unconditional support and a safe space for people experiencing overwhelming live transitions that can lead to stress. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, maternal mental health, employment issues, marital/couple conflict or communication, family relational problems, academic or educational problems, LGBTQA and BIPOC concerns, as well as transition/relocation issues for veterans and military families.

I pride myself on meeting my client where they are emotionally. My down-to-earth conversation style applies to all walks of life. I believe therapy can be a conversation between friends with affirmation when needed, a direct discussion, or simply a light sense of humor. Life is full of moments. I am here to help the leap from this moment to the next.

I have over 20 years of experience working in a variety of clinical settings with a diverse range of people. While I have experience working with individuals, couples, families and children, I currently work primarily with adults. My special interests include chronic illness/pain, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, phobias, smoking cessation, stress management and personal and professional development. Outside of my role as a therapist, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, reading, listening to music and supporting the youth basketball team I founded in 2017. I look forward to meeting you!

I’m Christabel Ekechukwu, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and Virginia. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults dealing with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, trauma, suicidal ideation, and crisis-related concerns.

My specialty is treating clients suffering from depression and anxiety, I am passionate about helping those who suffer from varying mental health issues. I am fully aware of the impact that living with mental health issues can take on an individual’s life. I believe in helping patients regain control in their lives in order to live their best life. Depression comes in many shapes and sizes from severe to high functioning, all forms of depression can be treatable and I believe that by working together we can come up with a treatment plan to help you feel more like yourself again. Often depression and anxiety can go hand in hand, working with clients who have experienced feelings of both depression and anxiety we can determine appropriate coping skills to help manage both. I have also worked with clients who have experienced varying trauma, from childhood trauma including sexual abuse and domestic violence as well PTSD. We are seeing more and more individuals who experience varying level of trauma from bullying at school, or in the workplace, as well as spiritual trauma from religious experiences. I also specialize in treating those who have experienced a traumatic event in their lives using a trauma focused approach to help begin the process of healing. Open to working with children/adolescents 10 years and older.

I have several years of experience in using the CBT method while working with children, adolescents and adults in different settings (e.g. schools, hospitals, mental health agencies, etc.). I have used several techniques based on this model which include helping clients identify triggers for trauma or fears, identifying negative thinking patterns and replacing them with positive ones, as well using cognitive restructuring processes to help clients replace negative automatic thoughts or use thought stoppage. In addition, I have found CBT techniques useful to help replace distorted self-talk with more realistic thoughts to help change client’s negative behavior patterns. The youngest age I am willing to treat is 16 years old.
