Christy Hanson, LPC

Some of my best thinking happens over that first cup of coffee in the morning. And sometimes those thoughts turn into conversations I think are worth having.

So, welcome to Coffee with Christy - a place where we'll talk about mental health, relationships, and the experiences that come with simply being human.

For our first conversation, I've been thinking about grief. Maybe it is because of 9/11...or maybe it's the time of year that brings it up for me, personally.

Grief is something we all encounter, but it doesn't always look the way we expect it to.

Grab a cup of coffee and join me.

Let's talk about it.

💜 Meet Christy Hanson, the heart behind Hanson Counseling.

Christy believes mental health matters in every season of life—and that seeking support isn’t a sign that something is wrong with you. Sometimes, it simply means you’re ready for something to feel different.

With a heart for people and a deep commitment to her community, Christy has created Hanson Counseling as a space where individuals and couples can feel heard, supported, and encouraged as they navigate life, relationships, change, and the things that can sometimes feel too heavy to carry alone.

And while she spends so much of her life pouring into others, Christy also believes in something she encourages others to practice: making space to care for yourself, too.

We’re excited to use this page to share encouragement, practical mental health tools, relationship insights, and reminders that you don’t have to have everything figured out to take the next step.

Drop a 💜 or say hello in the comments.

Let’s reintroduce ourselves — and, more importantly, share the heart behind Hanson Counseling. 🤍
Hanson Counseling was built on the belief that mental health deserves to be talked about with compassion, understanding, and without shame.

For Christy, counseling is about more than helping someone through a difficult season. It’s about helping change the way we understand mental health; breaking down the stigma that can keep people silent, creating space for honest conversations, and reminding people that seeking support is a sign of strength.

Because mental health is health. And the way we talk about it matters.

Through teletherapy, Hanson Counseling provides a safe, compassionate space where teens, adults, couples, and parents can feel heard, work through life’s challenges, strengthen relationships, and gain tools to move forward with greater confidence and understanding.

No judgment. No shame. Just real conversations, genuine support, and someone in your corner.

💻 100% Teletherapy
🤍 Serving clients throughout Texas

Whether you’ve been following Hanson Counseling for years or you’re just finding us, we’re so glad you’re here.
