About Christopher
Christopher Santos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or family concerns. He also supports people facing trauma, anger, addiction, parenting strain, and career or life transitions.
Christopher keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. He listens first, then shapes sessions around what matters to each person. He aims to make conversations feel practical and focused rather than theoretical or overwhelming.
Background and approach
His work draws on narrative ideas that look at the stories people tell about themselves. He also uses client-centered listening and cognitive-behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking and habits. Mindfulness skills and emotionally-focused ideas are woven in when they fit the person’s goals.
In a typical session Christopher will listen for patterns, ask concrete questions, and try small, doable steps clients can practice between meetings. He adapts pacing so work moves at a comfortable speed. The approach is collaborative - goals and plans are set together.
People come to him for practical help with self-esteem, coping with life changes, anger, intimacy issues, and recovery from hurtful experiences. He also offers coaching-style support for career decisions and motivation. Christopher emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and steady support while you work toward changes.

Online session options
Approach and online care that centers your story
Christopher commonly draws on Narrative Therapy to help people name and reframe the stories that shape their feelings and choices. Narrative approaches look at how life events and relationships get woven into a personal story and then explore alternative meanings that can open up different options.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes careful listening and building a trusting relationship so clients can lead the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another tool he uses to identify patterns of thinking and behavior and test small changes that reduce anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful habits.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. He works collaboratively to decide what methods fit your goals and comfort level, and adjusts the plan as progress and needs change.
Online care is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth sessions, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can work well for brief check-ins or on-the-go support. These options help people fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping therapy consistent.
