About Christopher

Christopher Metz is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of counseling experience in Indiana. He focuses on making therapy straightforward and approachable. Christopher aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship strain in everyday language.

He uses Narrative Therapy to look at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. That method helps separate a problem from the person so new choices become visible.

Background and approach

Christopher also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to offer practical tools for handling difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. He works to build a space where people can say what they think and feel without judgment.

Therapy may include identifying unhelpful patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, or practicing skills to tolerate hard emotions. Christopher has supported people dealing with blended family issues, communication problems, jealousy, and infidelity. He also helps those facing substance concerns, guilt and shame, body image struggles, and questions about life purpose or meaning.

Hospice and end-of-life concerns are part of his experience as well. He communicates plainly about what to expect and helps clients choose steps that fit their lives. People generally leave sessions with one or two concrete ideas to try between meetings.

Christopher speaks English and practices in Indiana as an LCSW.

Online session options

How narrative and practical therapies work online

Christopher blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change how they relate to thoughts and feelings. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories someone tells about themselves and their relationships, helping separate a problem from the person so new options appear. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches how to notice thoughts without getting ruled by them and to commit to actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to see what shifts.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Christopher will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. He adapts techniques across sessions so the plan evolves based on what helps most in everyday life.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera feels like extra work. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins and a way to keep momentum between full sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and try different formats to see what feels most useful.
