About Christian

Christian trained at Augusta University and has practiced since 2017, building seven years of clinical experience. He has provided both individual and group therapy across age ranges, and often combines techniques to match each person’s needs.
Background and approach
He explains that emotions, behaviors, and thoughts are connected and looks at how those parts shape daily life. Sessions tend to emphasize goal-setting that feels doable. Short-term steps and longer-term aims guide the work, and goals can be adjusted as needs change.
Christian helps people weigh different options so they feel less overwhelmed and more in control of next steps. He draws on several well-known approaches and mixes elements to suit each client. That can mean practicing new coping skills, reframing unhelpful thoughts, or exploring the stories people tell about themselves.
The focus is on what helps someone move toward the life they want. Christian treats people with respect and compassion, regardless of gender or sexuality. He looks for what is meaningful to each person and supports them in finding workable strategies.
His style is straightforward, collaborative, and aimed at helping clients make steady progress.

Online session options
How Christian’s Methods Translate to Online Therapy
Christian often draws on Narrative therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) when working with clients. Narrative therapy focuses on the stories people tell about their lives and looks for alternative, more helpful ways to understand difficult events. ACT helps people notice their thoughts and values, then take small committed actions toward what matters to them.He also uses Client-Centered techniques that prioritize a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation and support clients in finding their own solutions. These approaches suit concerns such as trauma, anxiety, identity questions, grief, and stress by combining reflection with practical steps.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Christian will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked before, then shape sessions around that feedback. That collaborative planning means techniques can be mixed or adjusted over time as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversations and skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to try different formats to see what helps most.
