He speaks English and practices from Florida. Christopher aims to make starting therapy feel straightforward and manageable for people under strain.

His background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Flagler College and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. Christopher has eight years of experience working with people facing trauma histories, low self-esteem, and impulsivity among other issues.

In the room he uses client-centered listening alongside approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior strategies. He also draws on solution-focused and motivational methods to set clear, achievable goals and encourage steady progress.

Christopher emphasizes practical steps and collaboration. He supports people who want to change habits, handle grief, address addictive behaviors, or find more purpose. If someone is ready to begin, he guides them through the initial steps and tailors the process to their needs.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and creating a supportive space. Online sessions let the therapist reflect concerns, clarify goals, and help the client feel heard without a lot of formal structure. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors. Online work can include tracking thoughts, practicing new behaviors between sessions, and using worksheets or short exercises to build skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation and distress tolerance tools. In teletherapy DBT skills can be taught, rehearsed, and applied to real-life situations the client brings into sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. He checks in about what helps, adjusts techniques over time, and sets clear, practical goals together so progress is measurable and relevant.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to continue work when life circumstances shift, while keeping the focus on real skills and steady progress.
