About Christopher

Christopher Lecznar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. He draws on eight years of practice to help people dealing with stress, anxiety, family concerns, bipolar disorder, depression, and major life changes. He creates a straightforward, accepting space where people can talk about what matters most to them.

He keeps sessions focused and practical. Christopher listens first, then works with clients to set clear goals. He uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help manage strong feelings and recurring negative thoughts.

Background and approach

Many people come to him for help with relationship patterns, communication problems, and feeling stuck after a big change. He also supports those facing issues like abandonment, attachment struggles, caregiver stress, codependency, and isolation. He addresses behaviors such as impulsivity and concerns around infidelity or divorce in a calm, nonjudgmental way.

Christopher uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to build small, manageable steps forward. Sessions often include trying new ways of responding and tracking progress between meetings. He aims to make therapy a collaborative process where the client’s priorities guide the work.

Therapy with Christopher is offered in English and tailored to fit individual needs and schedules. People interested in starting will complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability in Michigan.

Approaches that fit online care and busy lives

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, listening space where the client sets the pace and topics. It helps people feel heard and clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical strategies to break unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce reactivity and increase awareness in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful and doable.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to meet without travel and to maintain continuity during busy weeks. Licensed professionals can use these tools to deliver the same therapeutic techniques as in-person work, while tailoring pace and homework to remote sessions.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
