About Christopher
Christopher Perkins is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois. He has 18 years of experience helping people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, addiction, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He speaks English and offers online sessions by video, phone, chat, and messaging.
He focuses on practical, evidence-based techniques to help people manage overwhelming feelings. Sessions usually involve talking through current problems, identifying patterns that make things harder, and trying small changes that reduce distress.
Background and approach
He also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment, control, and social anxiety when they are part of the picture. Christopher draws on a long history of clinical work to tailor a plan that fits each person’s situation. He can help people who feel empty, guilty, or impulsive, and those working to recover from drug or alcohol addiction.
He also supports people dealing with family of origin wounds and questions about life purpose. People meet him online by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging depending on what suits their schedule. Cost varies with location and a subscription is used for sessions and can be canceled at any time.
He does not accept international clients and operates under his Illinois LCPC credential. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to availability. Christopher will review a person’s history and recommend next steps, including referrals if a different level of care is needed.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Christopher uses established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing patterns that keep problems active and on building coping skills. One common approach helps people identify triggering thoughts and behaviors and then practices alternative responses to reduce anxiety and stress. This method is useful for social anxiety, panic, and ongoing worry.Another approach emphasizes understanding attachment and abandonment patterns that show up in relationships. Sessions explore how past family dynamics shape current reactions and then try new ways of relating to reduce isolation and emptiness. This work can be helpful for intimacy issues, low self-esteem, and problems with trust.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to determine which techniques fit best with their goals, history, and comfort level. Together they review progress and adjust the plan as needed, including making referrals if a different level of care is recommended.
Online formats offer flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls let you have a conversation much like an in-person session. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief check-ins, quick coping reminders, or reflection between full sessions. These options help make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into daily routines.
