About Christopher
Christopher Massey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who offers warm, interactive therapy rooted in respect and compassion. He focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Christopher keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented so busy parents can understand the plan and next steps.
He uses a mix of approaches that match what each person needs. That can include attachment-based ideas to look at close relationships, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts, and mindfulness skills to calm the body and mind.
How Christopher works
Christopher helps people build coping skills, handle grief, address trauma and abuse, and work through issues with self-esteem and addiction. Sessions begin with an open conversation about the problems that matter most. From there he helps create a simple, individual plan with clear goals and practical strategies.
He offers feedback, teaches tools, and checks progress so people can see gradual change. Christopher has five years of experience providing therapy in Missouri and works with a wide range of concerns including parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and caregiver stress.
He also addresses less commonly discussed topics such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, and body image. People meet him for short-term skill building or longer work on deeper patterns. He encourages anyone taking the step to reach out, then walks alongside them as they try new ways of coping and relating.

How Christopher’s Approaches Work Online
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how early bonds shape current trust and connection. Online sessions can use this approach to look at communication habits and rebuild safer ways of relating.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is about identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors. In remote sessions Christopher can teach short exercises and homework to try between meetings to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then tailor the plan to match what the person hopes to change. This collaborative process allows adjustments as progress is made or needs shift.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text messaging helps with quick coping reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain continuity over time.
