Christi Young, LPC

Licensed Counselor in Texas: Therapy for Anxiety, Depression, and Emotional Healing

​

Do you ever feel stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts, overwhelming emotions, or unhealthy patterns? You're not alone—and you don’t have to stay there. Reaching out for help is a powerful first step toward healing.

As a licensed professional counselor with over a decade of experience, I help adults bring understanding, clarity, and hope to areas of struggle. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, or relationship issues, therapy can provide a path forward.

​

Supportive, Nonjudgmental Therapy for Men and Women

​

I work with both men and women navigating life transitions, emotional pain, and difficult relationships. Many clients come to therapy feeling stuck, confused, or overwhelmed by emotions they don’t know how to manage. My counseling style is warm, honest, and deeply respectful—offering a safe place to explore your inner world and begin lasting change.

Together, we’ll identify what’s holding you back and develop healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and relating—so you can build a life that reflects your values, priorities, and purpose.

​

My Background and Qualifications

​

I’ve been in private practice since 2012 and hold two Master of Arts degrees:

• MA in Professional Counseling

• MA in Human Services Counseling with a concentration in Marriage & Family

​

I'm based in Colleyville, TX and offer both in-person therapy and virtual counseling for adults across Texas. Whether you’re local to the DFW area or seeking telehealth support from another city in Texas, I’d be honored to work with you.

​

A Personalized Approach to Counseling

​

Every client is unique. That’s why I tailor therapy to your specific needs using a combination of proven, evidence-based methods. These approaches help address emotional pain at the root, while also offering practical tools for everyday life.

​

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

​

EMDR is a powerful therapy for trauma and distressing experiences. It helps your brain reprocess memories so they no longer feel overwhelming or intrusive. Clients often report relief from long-standing emotional pain, anxiety, or self-doubt—even after just a few sessions.

​

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

​

CBT is a structured, goal-focused method that helps you recognize and shift harmful thought patterns. It’s especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. With CBT, you’ll learn how to challenge distorted thinking, manage emotions, and respond to stress in healthier ways.

​

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

​

EFT centers on deepening emotional awareness and improving relationships. By helping you tune in to your emotions—and express them honestly—you can build stronger connections with yourself and others.

​

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

​

IFS therapy explores the different “parts” within you. Some may carry fear or pain, while others try to protect or manage. IFS helps you understand these parts, meet their needs with compassion, and invite your inner grounded self to lead.

​

IFS is especially helpful for:

• Healing from trauma

• Understanding internal conflict

• Strengthening self-compassion

• Restoring emotional balance

• Improving relational dynamics

​

What to Expect in Counseling

​

Clients attend therapy weekly, biweekly, or monthly depending on their needs and goals. Sessions typically last 50 minutes and are tailored to your current season of life.

Between sessions, I may offer optional resources to support your progress:

​

• Reflective journaling prompts

• Psychoeducational articles

• Mental health tools and workbooks

• Mindfulness and emotion-regulation exercises

​

These tools help you apply what we discuss in therapy to your everyday life.

​

Christian Counseling in Texas (Optional)

​

If you’d like to integrate your faith into the counseling process, I offer Christian counseling by request. Faith can be a powerful resource for healing, identity, and purpose. Together, we can explore how your relationship with God supports your emotional and spiritual growth.

​

As a practicing Christian, I attend church regularly and welcome the opportunity to combine Biblical principles with effective therapeutic care for those who desire it.

​
