About Christopher

Christopher 'Chris' Cosacchi is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship strain, and family issues. He also works with depression, grief, trauma, and career-related concerns. Chris speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps parents and adults can use right away.

Chris believes people are the experts on their own lives. He looks for strengths clients already have and builds on them. Sessions emphasize clear goals and small changes that add up over time.

Background and approach

He blends several therapy styles to match what a person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing are common tools he uses to change unhelpful thoughts and support committed action. Solution-Focused techniques help set short-term goals and track progress.

Chris aims for a supportive, respectful tone in sessions. He listens first, then suggests practical exercises and experiments to try between meetings. Progress is reviewed regularly so work stays focused and useful.

He is licensed in South Carolina as an LPC and has four years of professional experience. Sessions are offered in English and include a range of online formats to fit busy schedules. To begin, clients use the site's matching process to connect and schedule their first meeting.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for busy families

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them and then take steps that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck when life feels overwhelming.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with real-life experiments. This approach is practical for stress, panic, social anxiety, and improving daily routines.

Motivational Interviewing supports motivation for change by exploring a person's own reasons and commitment. It is often paired with other methods when addressing addictions or making lifestyle shifts.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Chris will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. He checks progress and adjusts the plan as therapy moves forward.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. These options make it easier to attend from home, balance parenting or work, and keep momentum between meetings. The variety of formats supports continuity and flexibility while working toward practical changes.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
