About Chris
Chris Allen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 29 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and issues around identity and intimacy. He also supports those facing grief, trauma, addictions, eating concerns, ADHD, and struggles with self-esteem.
His style is warm and interactive. Conversations are respectful and straightforward. He avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on the person rather than a diagnosis.
Background and approach
Chris draws on several approaches to shape sessions. Narrative therapy helps people reframe their stories and spot patterns that no longer serve them. Client-centered methods keep the session focused on the person's goals and experience.
Mindfulness tools are used to help with grounding and managing strong emotions. Sessions are practical and tailored. He works with people to set clear goals, try new coping strategies, and track small changes over time.
He also addresses family-of-origin concerns such as adoption and attachment issues when those topics matter to the person seeking help. People looking for help with communication problems, codependency, commitment worries, or fatherhood issues will find a direct, compassionate approach. Chris emphasizes collaboration and builds a plan that fits each person's life and priorities.

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 Chris directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and client-centered work online
Chris uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and to find new ways of seeing old problems. That approach can help with identity, grief, relationship patterns, and feelings of emptiness.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person's goals and lived experience. This style emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so the person sets the pace and priorities. Mindfulness Therapy may be introduced to teach simple grounding and emotion-regulation skills that can be practiced between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Chris will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust methods as those things change. The process is collaborative and goal-oriented rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit brief check-ins or ongoing coaching-style support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules.
