About Giles
Giles Christman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in North Carolina. He brings 12 years of clinical experience to his work and focuses on relationship strain, family concerns, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. He communicates in English and offers sessions by video, phone, chat, or text.
Giles uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage mood disorders and post-traumatic stress. He helps clients address attachment and abandonment worries, repair communication problems, and cope with isolation or loneliness.
How Giles works
He also supports those navigating divorce, caregiving stress, and struggles with guilt, shame, or forgiveness. In sessions he looks for practical ways to reduce overwhelm. He helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and practices new ways of relating.
Work can include examining body image concerns, control issues, or men’s midlife questions in simple, step-by-step conversations. Giles has experience collaborating with schools and juvenile services to address behavioral concerns and family conflict. That background informs his approach when clients are dealing with academic pressures or strained household dynamics.
He aims to build on each person’s strengths and resources. People can expect direct, straightforward guidance and tools to try between sessions. Giles frames therapy as a partnership that focuses on clear goals and small, practical changes.
He supports clients as they work toward more satisfying relationships and steadier mood management.

Online support options
Evidence-based care and online flexibility
Giles draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing harmful patterns and building strengths. One approach helps people learn concrete skills for managing upsetting thoughts and strong emotions; it is useful for mood disorders and post-traumatic stress. Another approach emphasizes clients' existing resources and strengths, helping them set realistic goals and try new behaviors between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Giles will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues for relationship or family work. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide brief, written check-ins and tools between sessions to reinforce progress and keep momentum.
