Chris has three years of experience helping people navigate depression, stress and anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, loneliness, breakups, motivation and confidence challenges, self-esteem concerns, addictive behaviors, grief, and the responsibilities of caregiving. He also supports clients facing career questions, bipolar-related issues, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and a range of attachment and family-of-origin concerns.

Therapeutic Approaches for Remote Care
Christopher integrates practical, evidence-informed approaches into online work to meet a variety of concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action while learning to hold difficult thoughts and feelings with less struggle - it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current connections and emotional responses - it can be useful for relationship difficulties, codependency, and family-of-origin issues. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and unconditional positive regard so clients can lead their own growth - it supports self-esteem, identity questions, and motivation struggles.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Christopher works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods align with their goals, needs, and preferences. He adapts interventions over time so the work stays relevant to the client’s priorities.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across busy lives, reduce travel time, and provide steady access to licensed professionals when challenges arise.
