Christopher (Chris) Chur, LMHC - Therapist in Hawaii

About Christopher

Christopher (Chris) Chur is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Hawaii who focuses on family and parenting related concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addictive behaviors. He aims to create a simple, calm space where clients can talk through what’s on their mind. Chris keeps sessions straightforward and practical so people can start making small changes quickly.

He uses common-sense therapeutic tools rather than jargon. Sessions often include talking things through, practicing new ways to respond, and setting manageable steps for change.

Background and approach

Chris supports people working on relationships, communication problems, codependency, and caregiver stress with clear, down-to-earth guidance. Trained in counseling and pastoral care, Chris brings a mix of clinical and reflective approaches to sessions. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and existential ideas to match what a client needs.

His work emphasizes empathy and helping clients take responsibility for what they can change. Chris has three years of clinical experience and holds the Hawaii LMHC license (HI LMHC MHC-826). He offers sessions in English and provides several online formats, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

International clients are not accepted. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits. Chris uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that guide online family and parenting work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, and it helps people shift those patterns to improve family relationships and closeness. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client’s pace, which supports self-esteem and personal insight.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods that fit. That collaborative planning makes sessions feel more relevant and keeps therapy focused on practical next steps.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when it matters. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging let people check in between meetings or choose a format that feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit regular sessions into a parent’s schedule and to continue work when life gets hectic.

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.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
