How Christopher works
Then he and the client pick small, concrete steps to test between sessions. Clients can expect a warm, grounded presence and straightforward tools they can use in daily life. Chris draws on a few different ways of working depending on the need.
He uses client-centered methods to follow the person’s lead, cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts, and mindfulness practices to build steadiness in hard moments. He also brings narrative and Jungian perspectives when stories or deeper meaning are central to the work.
Across his practice he helps people with issues such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, aging and caregiver stress, body image and commitment worries, chronic pain or illness, and relationship communication problems. He also supports those facing divorce, blended family challenges, and the emotional aftermath of disasters.
Sessions are offered in English and available to people inside and outside the United States. Chris aims to make starting therapy straightforward and practical for people juggling work, family, and other responsibilities.

Approaches and how online therapy fits
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to talk through feelings and make their own choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to change them. It is useful for managing anger, low self-esteem, or work-related stress.
Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These practices can help when strong emotions or chronic stress make daily life harder.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as priorities change and progress is made.
Online formats offer flexibility for people with busy schedules. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations, phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make continuing therapy more practical for people juggling multiple responsibilities.
