About Christopher
Christopher Chaney is a licensed professional counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky with 27 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, and the pressure of life changes. He also supports those coping with compassion fatigue, parenting challenges, identity issues, and mood or attention concerns.
In sessions he keeps things direct and practical. He focuses on finding workable steps clients can try between meetings.
Background and approach
He uses clear conversation to help people name what matters, then identifies small changes that can make daily life easier. His practice draws on client-centered work that emphasizes the person’s own perspective. He pairs that with cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and shift them.
He also uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and track progress. Over nearly three decades he has seen a wide range of concerns, including trauma reactions, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and stress related to caregiving and aging. That experience informs a calm, steady approach to problem solving and planning.
Sessions are conducted in English and are offered through online formats that fit different schedules. Christopher aims to make therapy approachable and practical, helping people move from feeling stuck to taking manageable steps toward their goals.
How these approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they hear, and helps the client make sense of their priorities and values. This approach supports people who need a steady, empathetic space to talk through hard situations.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. In short sessions it helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or mood swings. It is useful when someone wants clear steps to try between meetings.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on goals and next steps rather than dwelling on problems. It works well for people who want to set short-term targets and track progress toward concrete changes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals in formats that fit different lives: video calls for deeper conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments and to choose the way of communicating that feels most comfortable.
