He avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and compassion. Chris uses a mix of approaches depending on the issue. He draws on client-centered work to follow the person's lead and narrative therapy to help make sense of life stories.
He also uses mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns and bring awareness into day-to-day choices. Over nearly three decades he has assisted people through life changes, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment wounds, blended family stresses, and fatherhood issues. He also addresses codependency, communication and commitment difficulties, dissociation, and domestic violence effects.

He encourages small changes that add up over time and helps people track progress as they move forward.
How Chris' Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy emphasizes following the person's lead and adjusting conversation to their needs. Online sessions using this approach focus on listening, reflecting, and helping people name what matters most in their lives.Mindfulness therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts, sensations, and emotions without getting swept away. This can help with anxiety, stress, and coping during life changes by building simple practices people can use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort, and pace. That often means mixing techniques and checking in regularly to see what helps most.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and have richer conversation, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick updates, brief coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
