In the therapy room Chris aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space. Conversations are straightforward and paced to match each person's needs.

That can mean trying new ways to communicate, practicing coping skills, or breaking larger goals into small actions. The work is collaborative - the person sets the priorities and Chris offers tools and feedback.
Chris supports people who want a clearer sense of self, better relationships, or tools to handle stress. They make room for emotion and for practical planning, so progress feels both personal and doable.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy
Many evidence-based techniques focus on clear skills people can practice between sessions. One common approach emphasizes learning coping strategies for anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and behavioral steps that reduce overwhelm and increase daily functioning. Another approach focuses on communication skills and conflict patterns, helping people notice interaction habits and try new ways of speaking and listening to improve relationships.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Chris will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust as progress unfolds. The therapist and client collaborate on which techniques to prioritize so the work feels relevant and doable.
Online therapy formats offer practical benefits. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for quick reflections, ongoing check-ins, and written practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain momentum between meetings.
