Background and approach
Chris uses practical, evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and the Gottman Method. Those tools are applied to problems like mood disorders, trauma, communication problems, and challenges tied to caregiving, chronic illness, or body image. Clients often bring complex situations that touch many areas at once.
Chris draws on two decades of experience in multiple states to create focused, manageable steps. He emphasizes skills people can use between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve relationships. Therapy conversations are intended to be straightforward and practical.
Chris helps clients set clear goals, practice new skills, and track small wins. He welcomes questions and works together with each person to find the approach that fits their life.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Chris commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety or depression. CBT focuses on practical exercises and small behavior changes that can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. DBT offers clear, step-by-step skills people can practice when feeling overwhelmed or reactive.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful.
Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter interaction is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can work for brief check-ins, skill practice, and when people prefer written communication. These options aim to increase flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
