About Christopher
Christopher Massey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on practical, skills-based therapy. He draws on approaches that help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship concerns. Christopher aims for straightforward support that parents and busy adults can use in day-to-day life.
He has five years of experience working with people facing depression, trauma, addiction, grief, and sleep or eating struggles. He has also supported those coping with career changes, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and chronic health challenges.
Background and approach
Christopher listens for the problems that matter most and helps identify small, achievable steps forward. Sessions are collaborative and respectful. He uses client-centered communication to make space for what each person values.
That helps build trust and a clearer sense of goals before choosing specific tools. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and DBT-style skills for managing intense emotions. Mindfulness strategies are woven in to help with stress and focus.
Attachment-informed work helps when past relationships shape current patterns. Christopher works with people who want concrete tools for coping and change. He helps create simple plans, teaches practical coping skills, and checks progress together.
His style is warm and direct, with an emphasis on usable skills and steady encouragement.

Practical therapy approaches for online care
Christopher blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping each person name what matters. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thinking patterns and teaches concrete tools to change reactions and reduce distress. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve focus.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean starting with skill-building from CBT, adding DBT-style emotion regulation skills, or using attachment ideas to understand relationship patterns as progress continues.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone is useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging can keep momentum between sessions and support short questions or coping reminders. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
