Chris is based in Alabama and speaks English. He accepts international clients. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules based on availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy is about making space for what matters most to each person. Online or in person, this means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's priorities to set goals and next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and then trying practical changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to use based on needs, goals, and preferences. That negotiation can change as progress is made, and methods may be combined to suit the person's situation.
Confirm the session formats available before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - appointments can be scheduled around work, caregiving, or medical needs. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or audio-only options when bandwidth is low. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling and for how you prefer to engage in therapy.
