Dr. Christopher Graham, LCSW - Therapist in Oklahoma

About Christopher

Dr. Christopher Graham is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Oklahoma with 13 years of experience. He helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, and parenting challenges.

He sets a straightforward tone in sessions and focuses on clear next steps rather than jargon. Many people come to him feeling overwhelmed, and he aims to make the first conversations simple and direct. He creates a space where thoughts and feelings can be talked about without judgment.

Background and approach

He listens closely to each person’s story and works with them to identify practical changes. That might mean learning skills to manage strong emotions or trying new ways to talk with important people in their life. Dr.

Graham uses several evidence-based approaches. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and act on them. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking.

For trauma he can integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when appropriate. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. He combines skill-building, emotional processing, and problem-solving to match the issue at hand.

He also provides coaching-style guidance for real-world challenges like career stress, caregiving burden, or navigating grief. People who choose his services can expect direct communication, steady guidance, and collaboration on achievable goals. Taking the step to start therapy can feel hard, and he aims to make the process manageable and focused.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people name their values and take small actions that match those values. It is often used when someone feels stuck by anxiety, depression, or major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting patterns of thinking that cause distress and trying specific behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps process upsetting memories and reduce their emotional intensity when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together with the therapist. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Over the first few sessions he will suggest options and adjust methods based on how the client responds, keeping the plan practical and collaborative.

Online therapy offers flexibility to fit busy schedules and different life demands. Sessions can be held by video call for face-to-face conversation, by phone for when video is not possible, or through live chat and text messaging for shorter check-ins and on-the-go support. These options make it easier to practice skills between sessions and to stay consistent with treatment while balancing work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.

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.

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.
