About
During our therapy session, you will encounter a warm-hearted, empathetic, inquisitive, and attentive therapist eager to understand more about you.
Christine Fatherree, LCSW, brings over 25 years of experience in the mental health field, working in a variety of roles to support adult clients seeking growth, healing, and clarity. She is deeply committed to helping individuals explore their concerns and make meaningful changes in their lives.
Christine works with adults experiencing depression, grief, life transitions, and trauma (though not military-related trauma). She understands that beginning therapy often starts with important questions—and that exploring those questions can lead to real transformation. Her therapeutic approach is tailored to each client’s needs, drawing from a range of evidence-based practices including traditional Talk Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
(EMDR). This flexible approach allows Christine to offer personalized support that meets you where you are.
Christine is genuinely curious about your story and provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore both your inner world and life circumstances. While therapy can be challenging, it can also bring moments of insight, relief, and even humor.
If you’re ready to begin the process of change, Christine is here to support you. Schedule an appointment when you’re ready to take the next step.

My motto is “There are no bad kids; each is doing the best they can.” As a clinician with 15+ years working with some of the toughest kids and adolescents, I have yet to meet a client I cannot make some kind of connection with.
Rebecca Greenwood is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has had over 15 years of experience working with children and adolescents diagnosed with mental health disorders as well as their families, particularly adolescents with depression/anxiety, self-esteem issues, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), oppositional defiant, body dysmorphia, emotional deregulation issues, substance abuse issues, and parent-child relations. Rebecca has had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings from day treatment to community mental health clinics. Her work in community mental health centers allowed her not only to work with children and adolescents, but also with adults diagnosed with mental health disorders and dual diagnoses: depression, anxiety, mood disorders, workplace issues, and substance abuse issues.
Rebecca completed her bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Hastings College and her Master of Science (MA) in Human Services with an emphasis in Mental Health Counseling at Capella University. She is an Affiliate Sex Offender Treatment Provider (ASOTP). One thing that Rebecca has learned in working with adolescents, which she thinks is true for everyone, is that they want to feel heard and validated. Life can be really hard. Many of Rebecca’s clients have been in a great deal of emotional pain, some believing that the pain will never go away.
Rebecca’s therapeutic approach respects the person, providing a safe nonjudgmental climate. She uses a strengths-based and cognitive behavioral approach, and strives to find techniques that will fit each client. Rebecca views counseling as a team effort, working alongside you to help you meet your goals. Challenges do not have to define or incapacitate you. Rather, they can be the catalyst for growth and change in ways you may not expect. If you have struggled with or are struggling with emotional pain, Rebecca hopes that you will just try one more time. Come talk with her or another therapist. Life can be better. It’s time you start to live your best life, and it would be Rebecca’s honor and privilege to walk with you on your journey.

I’m passionate about supporting individuals and families in my community, drawing on my experience with trauma and perinatal mental health to create a compassionate, empowering space for healing and growth.

My go-to approach for helping people in grief & loss counseling is person-centered. I enjoy person-centered techniques because they take time to allow the patient to acclimate to the loss of someone important.
I teach meditation, emotional identification, and more.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in grief and loss counseling when they are able to cope with their grief a little better and it doesn't take over their whole day.
Clients can supplement their time in grief and loss counseling by creating a solid support system.
To prepare for their first grief and loss counseling session, an individual can be aware they will probably get emotional, and know it is ok.
Grief and loss counseling helps people grieve difficult losses including the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, or the end of a relationship. It helps people navigate their grief process and eventually accept, understand, and move forward from their loss. Thriveworks grief therapists in San Antonio, TX have specific experience, training, and skills that enable them to best support grieving individuals.
Grief and loss counseling isn’t one-size-fits-all, but it involves sharing about your loss and then working with your counselor to acknowledge and accept your new reality in its wake. Your provider at Thriveworks in San Antonio, TX will design your treatment plan around your unique needs and goals for therapy, applying the counseling techniques that best support them.
If you have recently experienced an event like the death of a loved one, a breakup or divorce, the loss of a job, or another major life change, then you may want to seek grief and loss counseling. Grief can be caused by many experiences and events, so if you feel that you are having trouble moving on from a certain event or find that it is still impacting your life and functioning, grief and loss counseling can help you process it more effectively so that you can move on and once again find fulfillment and satisfaction in your life.
There are many counseling theories for treating grief, one of the most frequently used being the dual process model of grief which helps people acknowledge who or what they’ve lost through rumination while also adjusting to the new roles and identities that this loss has now placed on them. There are also many commonly used therapy approaches used in grief and loss counseling, including Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and traumatic grief therapy.
Grief & loss counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
For many, grief and loss counseling lasts for about 6 months. For others, it may last shorter or longer, depending on the severity of their loss and their grief.
