Background and approach
Christopher aims to reduce the stigma people sometimes feel about getting help for mental health or substance concerns. Christopher grew up in Guyana and moved to the United States in his early teens. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University.
He is licensed in Florida as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC. In practice he mixes straightforward talking therapy with skill-building. He uses strategies drawn from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral approaches, and mindfulness.
That looks like identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavioral changes, and practicing simple attention exercises. Christopher has about 10 years of experience working in mental health and substance use settings. He is comfortable addressing issues such as family and relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, sleeping and eating problems, and concerns around addiction and compulsive behaviors.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Christopher combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Client-centered work means conversations focus on what matters to the person and on building trust before changing habits.He also integrates elements of dialectical behavior therapy - skills for regulating strong emotions and improving relationships - and mindfulness practices that teach simple attention and breathing exercises. These approaches are useful for anxiety, mood challenges, stress, and difficulties with focus such as ADHD.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Christopher will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then adapt methods over time. The plan can shift as needs change so clients get the kinds of tools that work for them.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. Video is good for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text sessions can support quick check-ins or skills practice, and messaging lets people share updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or caregiving routines.
