About Christopher

Christopher Cantu is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who uses practical, person-centered care to help people navigate stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depressive symptoms.

He aims to make each session useful and focused on what a person wants to improve. Sessions move at a pace set by the client. Language of sessions is English.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following each person's priorities. It helps when someone needs a safe space to sort out feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, panic, and low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, which can help with mood swings, panic attacks, and communication breakdowns.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels workable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made or circumstances change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options let people fit sessions into busy schedules and keep continuity when life gets in the way. The therapist uses these formats to deliver the same practical skill work and supportive conversation that happen in person, while making it easier to connect from different locations.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
