He works with people facing depression, addictions, grief, and major life changes.

In sessions he uses straightforward, goal-oriented methods. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients break down problems and try new ways of coping. Sessions aim to build skills for day-to-day life rather than only talk about feelings.

Christopher values clear communication and practical tools. He often works on coping skills for anger, communication problems, codependency, and commitment worries. He also helps with workplace stress, career questions, and making sense of life purpose.

How his approaches work in online therapy

Christopher commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in sessions. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different reactions, which can lower anxiety and reduce angry outbursts. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person's own goals and reasons for change, which is helpful for addictions, ambivalence, and making lasting behavior shifts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and lifestyle. This is a team effort where goals, preferences, and real-life constraints guide the plan.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Some people find it easier to schedule shorter check-ins around work or to maintain momentum between in-person visits. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available and can choose what fits your routine.
