The result is practical conversation about what feels most urgent for the person in front of him. Dr. Graham draws on approaches like Narrative work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment-Based perspectives to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of relating.
He also integrates elements of Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavior methods when useful for skills practice and emotional regulation.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Christopher directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and acceptance approaches work online
Dr. Graham combines Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people understand how the stories they tell shape daily life and choices. Narrative work looks at recurring patterns and meanings, and helps people rewrite stories that feel stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed and taking values-driven steps forward.He approaches treatment collaboratively. He will work with each person to figure out which approach or mix of methods fits their needs and goals. That might mean using narrative exercises some weeks and practical ACT or skills-based work other weeks, depending on what the client wants to try.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching-style exchanges, or when typing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options help people schedule therapy around work, family, and daily life.
