Background and approach

Sessions often include skills practice, problem-solving, and chances to try new ways of coping between meetings. He has worked with people facing trauma, grief, and life transitions, and he supports clients navigating gender questions and LGBT concerns. He also addresses eating and sleeping difficulties, body image struggles, and issues linked to intimacy and alternative sex culture like BDSM and kink.

Christopher uses a mix of methods including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and narrative and existential ideas. That mix lets him combine practical steps with attention to meaning and personal values. He keeps sessions clear and goal-focused while staying flexible about how to reach those goals.

He invites people to bring questions and concrete problems, and he helps turn worries into manageable next steps.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work

Christopher often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and can set their own goals. This approach helps with issues like anxiety, relationship concerns, and life changes by centering the person's experience and priorities.

He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, phobias, mood problems, and many day-to-day difficulties because it offers clear skills to practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christopher will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past, then suggest methods to try. He treats this as a collaborative decision and adjusts the plan based on what is effective for the individual.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexible scheduling and different ways to connect. Video sessions let people see nonverbal cues, phone calls can be a simpler option with less bandwidth, live chat allows for quick check-ins, and text messaging is useful for short updates or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and find a format that feels manageable.
