Christopher Hohaia

Christopher Hohaia is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, and grief. He works with people dealing with trauma, intimacy issues, addiction, and career or life transitions. He uses a respectful and compassionate approach to support people making changes. Hohaia tailors conversations and plans to each person's situation. He draws on six years of professional experience and his LCSW credential. He aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and concrete rather than overwhelming. In sessions he focuses on clear goals and practical steps. He listens for patterns that keep problems going and helps people try new ways of responding. When anger or anxiety shows up, he helps identify triggers and builds coping tools that fit daily life. He also supports people processing trauma and abuse, and those working through intimacy and relationship concerns. For first responders and others in high-stress roles, he brings attention to the effects of repeated exposure to difficult events. Hohaia emphasizes collaboration in the process. He explains options, checks in about what feels useful, and adjusts plans as people progress. This lets people move at a pace that works for them while aiming for real, practical change.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often include short-term skills work and trauma-focused interventions. Skills-based approaches focus on teaching clear, practical strategies to manage emotions like anger and anxiety. These methods break down coping into steps you can practice between sessions and are useful for stress, workplace strain, and daily triggers.

Trauma-focused methods help people safely process past hurts at a pace that feels right. This type of work emphasizes grounding, managing intense feelings, and rebuilding a sense of safety in everyday life. It can support people coping with abuse, repeated exposure to difficult events, or grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work together. The therapist will review options and decide with each person what to try first, tailoring the plan to goals and preferences. This collaborative process means adjustments are made if something does not feel helpful.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. Different formats also let people choose what feels most practical for their schedule and energy level.
