About Christopher
Christopher Mabrey is a licensed mental health counselor in Indiana with 10 years of experience. He has worked in schools and clinical settings and supports people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship strain. Christopher takes a respectful and nonjudgmental approach and focuses on practical change.
He helps people sort through stress, anger, grief, addictions, and parenting challenges. He also addresses intimacy concerns, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. People who worry about communication problems, impulsivity, infidelity, or jealousy can bring those concerns to sessions.
How Christopher works
Christopher uses a flexible mix of approaches rather than a single method. He draws on client-centered work to follow each person's pace and priorities. He also uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and make concrete behavior changes.
Meditation and mindfulness practices are included when they fit the client's goals. Narrative techniques help people reframe difficult experiences and make meaning from hardship. Sessions focus on clear steps and doable skills that can be practiced between meetings.
Christopher aims to create a calm, direct space where people can try new ways of responding. He tailors discussions and plans to each person's life and goals. If someone wants steady problem-solving or deeper emotional work, he adjusts the approach to match what the person needs.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. In practice this means sessions that start from your concerns and move at your pace, useful for building trust and clarifying goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems and teaches practical strategies to change them. This approach helps with anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and stress by giving clear skills to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use, combining approaches when that makes sense. The plan can change as needs and goals evolve.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or movement is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can work well for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or times when typing fits a schedule better. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
