More about Christopher

  • 3 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

Hi, I'm Christopher. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with experience working with adolescents and adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, life transitions, relationship challenges, and questions of identity and purpose.

My approach is practical, collaborative, and compassionate. I believe lasting change comes from understanding not just what is happening, but why it happens—and then developing concrete skills to move forward. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based interventions, somatic awareness, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care. I tailor therapy to each person rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.

Clients often describe me as calm, authentic, and easy to talk to. I value honesty and will gently challenge unhelpful patterns while creating a space where you feel respected and understood. My goal isn't to tell you what to do—it's to help you gain clarity, build resilience, and make choices that align with the person you want to become.

Before becoming a therapist, I served in the U.S. Army and later worked in education as both a teacher and school counselor. Those experiences shaped my appreciation for resilience, personal growth, and the unique challenges people face at different stages of life.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, healing from past experiences, or simply looking to understand yourself better, I'd be honored to walk alongside you. Therapy doesn't require you to have everything figured out—it simply requires a willingness to begin.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
