Online approaches that match your needs
Christopher blends client-centered care with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits. CBT focuses on practical steps that change patterns of thought and behavior, which can ease anxiety, depression, and stress.He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current bonds and emotional reactions. This approach helps people understand patterns in relationships and improve how they connect and feel safe with others.
Finding the right method is a team effort. Christopher discusses your goals and preferences and adjusts the approach over time. Together you decide whether to focus on skills training, reflection about relationships, or a mix that fits your situation.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit your life. Video is good for in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you need a shorter check-in. Live chat and text are useful for quick support, journaling between sessions, or ongoing coaching-style check-ins. These options let people access care from different places and schedules while keeping therapy consistent and focused.
