About Christopher

Christopher Harper is a Licensed Professional Counselor who practices in Texas. He has nine years of clinical experience and focuses on supporting people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and identity-related concerns. He often works with clients who are sorting out career stress, relationship challenges, and feelings of emptiness or low self-worth.

His style is straightforward and practical. He uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people set small goals and try new ways of coping.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, clarify priorities, and build skills that make daily life easier. Christopher pays attention to how culture and prejudice shape a person’s experience. He offers an affirming space for people wrestling with questions about self-love, identity, and belonging.

He also addresses concerns like codependency, communication problems, control issues, and guilt or shame. In session he focuses on clear steps and honest conversation. That might mean practicing a new communication skill, making a plan for managing anxiety, or weighing options around substance use.

The pace and direction come from the client’s goals. Practical matters are handled through the platform’s options for video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Christopher conducts therapy in English and works from his Texas license, LPC 67381.

Remote approaches that focus on skills and goals

Christopher uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits; this approach is practical and often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is used to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change, especially when facing ambivalence about substance use, career shifts, or behavior change. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, concrete steps and goals so clients can see progress quickly and build momentum.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christopher will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. Together they adjust strategies over time so the work stays useful and manageable.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy schedules. These formats let people connect from home or work, use brief check-ins between sessions, and choose the communication style that feels best for them.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.

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.
