About Christopher
Christopher (Chris) Chur is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Hawaii. He helps people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, addiction, grief, and burnout. Chris also supports those struggling with self-esteem, career uncertainty, bipolar mood concerns, and major life changes.
Chris keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He creates an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about feelings and choices. He uses short- and longer-term work depending on what a person needs.
How Christopher works
He emphasizes whole-person wellbeing rather than only symptom relief. His approach blends several evidence-informed methods. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors.
Attachment-focused ideas guide work on connection and communication. Client-centered principles shape the session pace and tone so people feel heard. Chris earned a Master’s in Counseling Psychology and a Master of Divinity in Pastoral Care and Counseling.
He has three years of professional experience as a licensed counselor. That mix of clinical and pastoral training informs how he addresses meaning, values, and day-to-day coping. In sessions he often combines practical strategy with reflective conversation.
That can mean skill-building one week and values-focused work the next. He encourages clients to try doable steps between sessions and to notice what changes. Progress is treated as a shared effort between therapist and client.

How therapy approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then take action aligned with their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It often includes practical exercises that translate well to phone or video sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels useful in early sessions. Together they adjust methods as needed, mixing ACT, CBT, attachment ideas, and client-centered listening so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online formats offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief support, ongoing check-ins, or when writing helps someone think things through. These options make it easier to keep momentum and try tools between sessions.
