About Chris
Chris (Christopher) McKillop helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, and life transitions. He names specific concerns clearly, including trauma and grief, ADHD, bipolar challenges, parenting strain, and LGBT-related issues. He offers a calm, respectful presence to start conversations that feel hard to begin.
He keeps sessions practical and direct. Chris listens first, then helps people set small goals. He uses exercises and short experiments between sessions so progress continues outside the meeting.
Background and approach
Sessions are paced to match what each person needs that week. Chris blends several well-known approaches. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without being driven by them.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns that keep problems going and build new habits. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are added when emotion regulation and present-moment focus matter. With 11 years of experience, he has worked with many people facing complicated feelings and life changes.
His style is client-centered, meaning he adapts work to each person rather than following a fixed script. That flexibility helps when concerns shift over time. He holds LCPC and LCMHC credentials and practices from California.
Sessions are offered in English and are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful when anxiety or avoidance keeps someone from doing what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can reduce worry and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to calm the body and lessen reactivity during stressful moments.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. Sessions are collaborative, and techniques can be adjusted over time if something is not helping.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can be quicker and work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow short check-ins, mood tracking, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress moving forward.
