About Christopher
Christopher "Chris" Childers is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor with 15 years of experience supporting people facing stress and anxiety. He meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and rebuild confidence. Chris helps people talk through relationship strains, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem.
He also works with concerns such as depression, mood shifts, loneliness, and issues around life purpose and forgiveness. Sessions emphasize clear communication and small, manageable changes you can use between meetings.
Background and approach
In session he aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. He offers straightforward feedback and collaborative planning rather than long lectures. The goal is steady progress toward the daily life you want.
Over his career he has worked extensively with married couples and individuals navigating men’s issues and midlife transitions. That background informs how he approaches communication problems, guilt and shame, and post-traumatic stress. People who meet with Chris can expect focused, goal-oriented conversations and tools to practice outside sessions.
He encourages honest talk about setbacks and keeps recommendations practical. Taking the first step to change can feel hard, and he aims to make that step easier to take.
Therapeutic approaches and online options for anxiety
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques used by Chris focus on skills you can practice outside sessions. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them against experience to reduce anxious reactions. This method helps people calm worry and make clearer choices in stressful moments. Another approach centers on building healthier communication and emotional awareness in relationships. That work helps with conflict, isolation, and repairing trust after hurt or trauma.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and preferences and try methods that fit your life. If something isn’t working, adjustments are made together so therapy stays useful and practical.
Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets you hold focused sessions similar to in-person meetings. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text messaging allow brief updates, coaching between sessions, or ongoing support without a full appointment. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while keeping work on your anxiety and relationships consistent.
