Online session options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Christopher often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people notice the stories they tell about themselves and then experiment with alternative ways of understanding those stories. This approach can help with identity questions, self-worth, and life purpose. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that line up with what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing painful emotions without getting stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. Christopher will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working that fit those aims. The plan can shift over time as needs change and new progress appears.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more adaptable. Video calls are good for in-depth conversations and reading facial cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when video isn't convenient. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, practicing skills, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options help people keep therapy steady around work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
