About Chris

Chris Allen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and addiction concerns. He also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and intimacy or body-image issues. Chris has nearly three decades of experience and works with adults and young adults navigating life changes.

His style is warm and interactive. He aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, avoiding stigmatizing labels. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and priorities. Chris emphasizes building a trusting relationship that encourages acceptance and growth.

Chris uses a client-centered focus alongside narrative and psychodynamic ideas. He often brings mindfulness and solution-focused elements into sessions when they fit a person's goals. Conversations are practical and aimed at finding usable ways to manage problems and move forward.

He has long experience helping people with adoption and foster care concerns and attachment issues, and he addresses blended family and fatherhood challenges. He also works with people coping with eating concerns, codependency, dissociation, and relationship communication problems.

Chris approaches therapy as a collaborative process. He listens first, then adapts tools and conversation to what each person needs. If someone is ready to make a change, he offers support, guidance, and straightforward strategies to help them progress.

How his approaches translate to online work

Chris uses client-centered methods that focus on the person’s needs, priorities, and values. This approach centers conversations on what matters most to the client and supports decision-making and self-directed change.

He also draws on narrative therapy, which helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. That can help with identity questions, adoption and foster care concerns, and shifting patterns that no longer serve someone.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chris collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. He listens first, then adjusts methods as progress unfolds so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, like scheduling around work or caring responsibilities. It can allow for shorter check-ins when needed or conversations that focus on specific skills such as mindfulness or problem-solving. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm available online options before booking to ensure they match your needs and daily routine.
