Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Christopher often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name core emotions that influence behavior and relationships, which can be useful for anxiety, trauma responses, and intimacy concerns. Client-Centered Therapy guides sessions around the person's experience, offering empathic listening and collaborative goal setting to help someone feel heard and clear about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood, or change routines.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Christopher works with clients to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. He may blend approaches and adjust the plan over time based on what is helping and what feels manageable.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy lives and to try different formats until the right fit is found.
