How his approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what the person says, and lets the person lead the topics. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and a steady therapeutic presence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and everyday habits that keep problems going. CBT involves noticing thought patterns, testing beliefs, and trying small behavior changes to see what helps. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and challenges like ADHD or addictions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. He adjusts the plan over time based on what is helpful and what isn’t.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available formats before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use the online setting to practice skills between sessions and to apply strategies to everyday routines.
