About Christopher
Christopher (Chris) Chur is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Hawaii who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and problems with relationships and family. He also supports people dealing with addiction, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, bipolar-related struggles, and compassion fatigue. Chris aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone who is worried or overwhelmed.
Chris keeps sessions straightforward and focused. He creates a welcoming space where clients can talk through difficult feelings without judgment.
Background and approach
He works short term when that fits and also supports longer work for deeper issues. The goal is clearer thinking and steadier daily functioning. His approach draws from several methods, including cognitive behavioral ideas that look at thoughts and actions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which emphasizes values and present-moment choices, and attachment-based work that looks at how relationships shape patterns.
He also uses person-centered listening and existential thoughts about meaning when those help the client. Chris brings three years of clinical experience to his practice and speaks English. He holds an LMHC license in Hawaii.
He encourages a holistic view of health, looking at practical steps people can use between sessions to feel better and build resilience. Parents reading this on a phone will find short, clear conversation in sessions. Chris helps clients set simple goals, practice skills, and notice small changes that add up over time.
Approaches and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and shifting unhelpful patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going, which is useful for stress, mood, and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence present-day relationship and trust issues, and it can help people change long-standing interaction habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each client about what feels most useful and adjust methods to match goals, needs, and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video can support face-to-face conversation, phone calls work when bandwidth is low, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging lets people write about things as they arise. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, shorter check-ins, or a choice to avoid being on camera while still working with a licensed professional.
