Approach options and how online therapy fits
Christopher commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). ACT focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life - it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning - it is frequently used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. DBT offers practical emotion-regulation, distress-tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense emotions and improve relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christopher works collaboratively with each person to determine which strategies best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and easier access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent support while fitting therapy into busy lives or handling mobility and transportation constraints.
