About Christopher
Christopher Santos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania who helps people handle stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and issues with self-esteem. He speaks plain, direct language and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable. Christopher emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions.
He adapts talks and plans to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions look at current worries and practical next steps.
How Christopher works
Christopher offers tools to manage anger, cope with life changes, address substance concerns, and rebuild motivation. His work often touches on relationship and family concerns from the perspective of an individual. He also focuses on adoption and foster care, attachment and fatherhood questions, blended family stress, and caregiver strain.
Christopher addresses issues tied to abandonment, forgiveness, and family of origin patterns. Therapy draws from client-centered methods that foreground the client's voice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to spot thinking habits that feed anxiety or low mood.
Emotionally-focused and mindfulness-informed techniques help people name feelings and practice calming skills. Christopher has three years of professional experience as an LPC in Pennsylvania. He will collaborate with clients to set goals and try practical strategies between sessions.
To begin, a simple questionnaire and scheduling step gets the process started.

Approaches that guide online work
Christopher draws from client-centered therapy, which focuses on the person and their experience while the therapist follows and reflects what matters most in the session. This approach helps when someone needs a listening, nonjudgmental space to sort out feelings and priorities.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT offers straightforward skills for addressing anxiety, depression, anger, and patterns that get in the way of daily life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another influence and helps people identify and describe core emotions that drive relationship and attachment concerns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christopher will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan if something isn’t working.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for longer conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and messaging or live chat supports quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between sessions.
