Therapy Specialties
Dr Christine Henry specializes in supporting adults who have recently discovered or are contemplating whether they are ADHD or autistic, or who self-identify as "highly sensitive." She can assist clients in navigating challenges related to childhood trauma, grief, and religious trauma with online options available anywhere in Houston, Texas, or any state that participates in PSYPACT.
Our licensed therapists specialize in online therapy for Houston residents, providing expert care tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re seeking autism therapy, adult ADHD treatment, or general mental health support, we’re here for you.
Understanding Autism as an Adult: Empowering You to Thrive
Navigating life as a newly discovered neurodivergent individual can be transformative. Together, we’ll uncover and challenge internalized messages, negative self-talk, and past trauma while finding ways to reshape the world to fit your needs rather than conforming to neurotypical standards.
You’ll gain valuable insights into the challenges you’ve faced, discover practical solutions for a more balanced and joyful life, and refine your ability to express emotions, improving relationships. By letting go of masking, you can embrace your authentic self and build deeper, more meaningful connections.
Adult ADHD Therapy : Unlock Your Potential
Discovering you have ADHD can feel overwhelming, but it’s also a chance to better understand yourself and your unique brain. Embracing this diagnosis isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about finding tools and strategies that work for you. Start by learning about ADHD, its challenges, and its strengths, while giving yourself permission to step away from shame or unrealistic expectations. Small changes, like organizing tasks differently or exploring new routines, can make a big impact. Therapy can help you process emotions, address self-doubt, and celebrate your progress.
Dr. Henry works with adults age 26+ with the following concerns:
Struggles with Friendships: Difficulty forming deep connections despite efforts to fit in, often rehearsing and overanalyzing conversations.
Difficulty Trusting Others: Trusting people feels unsafe due to past experiences, leading to emotional reliance on animals for comfort and support.
Neglect of Personal Needs: Losing touch with your identity after years of prioritizing others' needs over your own.
Fear of Rejection: Feeling emotional pain when others seem upset, assuming their anger or disappointment is directed at you, and overanalyzing interactions to find the cause.
Deeply Aware of Others' Feelings: You notice others' emotions and behaviors quickly and change how you act to keep things calm and avoid conflict. This leads you to repress your feelings, burnout, and having inauthentic relationships with others.
Feeling Lost: Struggling with identity and purpose, unsure of who you are or what you want in life.
Difficulty Setting Boundaries: Struggling to say no, prioritizing others’ feelings at personal cost.
Social Fatigue: Enjoying socializing but requiring substantial alone time to recharge after interactions.
Organization and Productivity Issues: Trouble maintaining systems, avoiding phone calls, and being mislabeled as "lazy" despite significant effort.
Restlessness: Constant need for activity, guilt about resting, and difficulty following through on ideas due getting distracted
What Will You Get Out Of Online Therapy?
Identify Triggers & Emotional Overwhelm: We will explore the triggers that lead to emotional overwhelm and develop strategies to prevent them and methods to recover when they occur.
Unmask Your True Self: We'll explore how to let go of the "mask" and show more of your true self to others, which can lead to more authentic connections.
Understand Personal Wants & Values: Together, we'll recognize your personal needs and values, and find ways to communicate them to others—though it might feel challenging at first.
Learn How to Set Boundaries: Learn how to establish healthy boundaries with others to protect your emotional well-being.
Mind-Body Strategies: We'll incorporate mind-body techniques, including biofeedback, to help you manage stress and understand your nervous system's responses in real-time.
Healthy, Replenishing Relationships: We will explore your friendships, family, and relationships to identify patterns and strengthen connections, while addressing any barriers to the relationships you desire.
Build Self-Compassion & Confidence: We will work on replacing negative self-talk with a kinder, more compassionate approach toward yourself, helping you develop a healthier self-image and confidence.

How Does Online Therapy in Houston TX Work?
From The Heights to Bellaire, and all across Houston, our online therapy services are accessible wherever you are. Whether you're in Montrose, Memorial, or Clear Lake, we bring expert care directly to your home.
We meet each other face to face, but through a HIPAA compliant video software, and will talk like you normally would in an office. Select a place where you will have privacy from other people, where you will feel safe talking.
If possible, use a computer instead of your phone. Using a larger screen will help it feel more like in person therapy by being better able to see the therapist.
Prop up your device or phone so it is eye level. This will help the therapist be able to read your facial expressions. Holding the device often becomes a distraction for both you and the therapist.
Do not multi-task during the session so you can be fully emotionally present to do the work.
Be stationary and do not drive during your virtual therapy session. Even if you often drive and talk with someone on your way to work this will not work for online therapy.
Go to a comfy spot, grab a blanket, get your pet, and let’s get started!
