About Christopher

Christopher Chaney is a licensed professional clinical counselor who helps adults navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and family conflicts. He also supports people facing parenting challenges, relationship strain, compassion fatigue, and life changes such as aging or job stress. Christopher works from Kentucky and draws on 27 years of clinical experience to offer steady, practical support.

He favors clear, goal-oriented work. Sessions focus on identifying small, doable steps that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Background and approach

Christopher uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. He adds solution-focused strategies to help clients discover and test practical fixes that fit their lives. Sessions are offered in English and use a mix of live formats designed for access and convenience.

Christopher aims to make care easy to fit into busy schedules and to coordinate with community prescribers when medication management is relevant. His background includes long experience with mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, trauma-related concerns, and complex family problems. He also addresses issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, codependency, and isolation.

Christopher approaches work with respect and a focus on what clients can do now. He emphasizes collaboration and building on strengths so people leave with concrete tools they can apply between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and online support that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients can explore what matters most. This approach is helpful for people who want a supportive, collaborative space to work through feelings and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, mood issues, and many everyday stressors.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on concrete steps and what changes would look like. Sessions aim to identify practical, short-term strategies clients can try between meetings to make immediate progress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and needs and tailor techniques accordingly. The process is collaborative so adjustments can be made as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical benefits like flexible scheduling and easier access from home or work. Christopher provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different comfort levels and life demands. These options make it simpler to fit regular sessions into busy family and work routines while still following a clear plan for change.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
