About Christopher
Christopher Keil is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. He works in Utah and brings seven years as an LMHC and LPC to his practice. Christopher aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable for people who are worried or unsure.
He speaks English and welcomes clients from other countries as well. His sessions tend to be direct and focused.
How Christopher works
He listens to what feels stuck and helps people identify small, practical changes. Christopher uses approaches such as EMDR, Narrative Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to guide work on painful memories, personal stories, and inner parts that influence behavior. Clients often arrive feeling blocked after trying other supports.
Christopher concentrates on early progress so people notice relief within a few sessions. He helps set clear goals and checks in on what is working and what needs to shift. When trauma or loss is part of the difficulty, he guides people through paced processing and rebuilding of safety in daily life.
For issues like chronic illness, body image, or loneliness, he focuses on coping tools and clearer communication with important people. Christopher welcomes straightforward questions about how therapy will run. He asks new clients to pick the Start Therapy button, fill a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that fits.
Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online work
EMDR helps people process distressing memories by combining focused attention with guided eye movements or similar bilateral stimulation; it is often used for trauma and abuse and can reduce the intensity of painful memories. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite those stories to reflect strengths and choice rather than blame or shame. Internal Family Systems helps identify different internal parts - for example a critical part or a protective part - and supports more compassionate internal leadership to reduce internal conflict.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to find the best fit. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change during treatment.
Online sessions provide practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and more interactive EMDR work. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for a check-in during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins, written reflection, or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and maintain momentum toward goals.
