About Christopher
Christopher Hooker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience. He helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or major life changes. He also supports those facing addiction, grief, anger, and intimacy or relationship concerns.
Christopher aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. He creates space for people to talk about what matters without judgment. He focuses on skills people can use between sessions to manage strong emotions and reduce worry.
How Christopher works
In his work he draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. That makes problems feel more manageable and gives clear steps to practice. He also brings a coaching mindset for people looking to set goals and make changes in their career or daily life.
Christopher has experience addressing first responder issues and compassion fatigue alongside more common concerns like parenting stress and self-esteem. He listens for what’s getting in the way of daily functioning and helps people develop practical coping strategies. Sessions are described in plain terms and move at a pace that fits each person.
Christopher focuses on collaboration and on building tools people can use after therapy ends.

How CBT and online sessions work together
Christopher uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking and test new ways of behaving. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can practice small changes that lead to noticeable relief for anxiety, depression, stress, and addiction-related patterns.He also applies a coaching-oriented approach for people focused on concrete goals like career shifts or improving day-to-day coping. That approach pairs well with CBT techniques because it keeps work goal-directed and hands-on, with exercises to complete between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. He works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adapt techniques so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share updates or work through brief skills between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain continuity of care.
