About Chris
Chris Allen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 29 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and anger. He also supports concerns around relationships, parenting, self-esteem, intimacy, and major life changes.
His style is warm, direct, and interactive. Sessions focus on clear conversation and practical steps rather than labels. He treats people with respect and works to build trust early in the work together.
Background and approach
Chris draws from client-centered methods and psychodynamic ideas to understand what matters most to each person. He also uses mindfulness and narrative approaches to help people notice patterns and reframe difficult stories. Solution-focused techniques come in when clients want short-term, goal-oriented change.
In a typical session he listens first, then helps set small, manageable goals. He offers tools for coping with strong feelings, improving communication, and changing unhelpful patterns. He tailors the pace and strategies to each person’s needs and preferences.
He has long experience with young adults and people moving into new life phases. That background informs work with career shifts, parenting strains, and relationship transitions. Chris aims to make therapy practical, understandable, and useful in daily life.

How his approaches work for online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It centers on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore feelings and choices. This approach helps when someone needs support sorting out values, identity, or difficult emotions.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away by them. It can be useful for managing anxiety, anger, and stress by improving attention and calming strong emotional responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the client and therapist decide whether to emphasize listening and exploration, mindfulness skills, or short-term solution-focused tools based on needs and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family life while keeping a consistent schedule.
