About Christopher
Christopher Whittington is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. He emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about tough feelings and practical problems. He encourages parents and caregivers to take small steps toward clearer communication and better routines.
Christopher validates the courage it takes to begin therapy and offers steady support as people start that process.
Background and approach
He uses plain, down-to-earth conversation rather than jargon. Sessions often focus on setting realistic goals, building confidence, and finding ways to manage stress and cravings. When needed he helps unpack family conflicts and work through grief or trauma at a pace that feels manageable.
Christopher draws on several evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and client-centered listening to follow the client's lead. He also weaves in mindfulness skills to manage anxiety and motivational interviewing to strengthen resolve for change. With seven years of professional experience and the LPC credential, he practices in Louisiana and conducts sessions in English.
His work style is practical and collaborative, aiming to build skills people can use between sessions. He lets clients set priorities and tailors strategies to each family's needs. Parents reading this will find a therapist who talks plainly about parenting struggles, anger, and relationship strain.
He offers multiple ways to connect so families can choose the format that fits their life.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead, helping people feel heard and clearer about what they want to change. It is useful for parents and caregivers who need support sorting through emotions and deciding next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. This approach is often used for stress, anxiety, and building better daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit each person's needs, adjusting based on what helps most. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to real family and parenting concerns.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy schedules. These options allow for more flexibility around work, school, and caregiving responsibilities and let people connect in the way that suits them best. Licensed professionals provide the care, and the format can be changed if another option would work better for the client.
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.
Existential Therapy
Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
