About Christopher
His approach is collaborative and person-focused. He draws on client-centered methods to make sessions feel personal and respectful. Chris uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice unhelpful thinking and try new behavior. He also incorporates mindfulness practices to calm the mind during stressful moments.
Chris has 11 years of experience working with people facing a wide range of concerns, including chronic illness, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care issues, attachment and relationship struggles, and aging-related worries. He aims to help people build resilience and clearer goals for change. Practical skills and small experiments are common parts of his work.
In sessions he pays attention to how past experiences shape present patterns. He uses narrative and Jungian ideas to help people make sense of their life story and find purpose. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change or needs help committing to a new direction.
People who choose Chris can expect direct, empathetic conversation and practical tools to try between sessions. He supports international clients in English and asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin the process.

How these approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work focuses on listening and tailoring sessions to each person's needs. Online sessions can follow the same pattern, with the therapist checking in about what matters most and adjusting pace or focus accordingly.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. In an online setting, CBT often uses concrete exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can be reviewed in the next session.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These techniques can be practiced during sessions and repeated at home between appointments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and practical needs. That might mean combining conversational, cognitive, and mindfulness techniques until a good fit is found.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them explicitly. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Discuss scheduling and format preferences during the initial matching step to make sessions work with everyday life.
