Sessions are straightforward and aimed at helping people regain footing and move forward.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are added when practical changes in behavior or thinking are needed. Over 11 years of practice in Missouri, Chris has worked with people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and divorce or separation.

Online session options
Approaches that shape online sessions
Christopher brings Narrative Therapy to online work by helping people separate themselves from unhelpful stories. This approach looks at how a person's life narrative affects choices and feelings and helps rewrite those narratives when they cause harm. Client-Centered Therapy is another core part of his work, which means sessions follow the client's priorities and pace, focusing on what matters most right now.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques when a client wants to change specific patterns of thinking or behavior. CBT tools can help with anger, self-esteem, and coping skills by identifying negative thoughts and testing small behavior changes to see what helps.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made as the work unfolds so the approach stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone sessions fit lower-bandwidth needs or quick check-ins, and messaging or live chat can support brief reflections between sessions. These options make therapy flexible for different schedules and daily demands.
