About Christopher
Christopher Jainandan is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. He keeps talks straightforward and practical so worried parents can follow along easily. He aims to reduce stigma around mental health and substance use while guiding people toward clearer next steps.
He uses plain conversation to understand what matters most to each person. That makes it easier to choose ways to cope that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
Christopher draws on approaches that encourage active skills work and self-reflection rather than long lectures. Christopher trained at Rollins College, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in psychology, and completed a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Capella University.
He has about ten years of experience in mental health and substance use settings, and holds Florida licensure as an LMHC. In sessions he blends goal-focused techniques with mindful awareness. That combination helps with anxiety, mood concerns, and problems tied to relationships or substance use.
He also supports people facing grief, trauma, career stress, and parenting strain. Many clients appreciate concrete tools for handling panic, obsessive thoughts, sleep trouble, or low self-esteem. Christopher aims to teach skills that can be used between sessions, such as breath work, behavioral experiments, and clearer communication strategies.
He works with each person to set realistic steps forward.
Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Christopher commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavioral changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, and sleep or mood problems.He also draws on client-centered therapy, which means the conversation focuses on what the person wants to work on and on building understanding. That approach helps when people need a safe space to talk through relationship strain, grief, or coping with life changes.
Choosing the right method is a shared process. Christopher will talk with each person about their goals, test approaches in early sessions, and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful. The aim is to find practical tools that fit daily routines.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when scheduling and bandwidth allow. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, homework exchanges, and ongoing coaching between sessions. Together these options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work and family life.
