About Christopher

Christopher Gerou brings a thoughtful, experienced approach to counseling shaped by extensive academic training and decades of practice. He earned a Master of Arts in Counseling from Concordia University Wisconsin and holds a second master’s degree in Thanatology from Hood College in Maryland - the study of death and the losses that follow. His undergraduate work in sociology at Carthage College in Kenosha laid a foundation for understanding family systems, social roles, and community dynamics. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), he combines formal education with hands-on work in varied settings, including roles with the State of Wisconsin Division of Vocational Rehabilitation and several educational clusters.

Communication, nondiscrimination, trust, and personal nature of sessions are cornerstones of his practice. He uses a solution-focused stance alongside client-centered and trauma-informed methods to address a broad range of concerns, from grief and end-of-life issues to relationship, family, and trauma-related challenges. He has particular experience supporting people through adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, and the complex emotional terrain of aging and hospice needs. Christopher’s work emphasizes practical strategies, compassionate listening, and collaborative planning to help individuals and families navigate life transitions and losses with resilience and clarity.

Online approaches for grief, trauma, and solution-focused care

Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and respect for each person's experience. It helps people explore feelings, clarify values, and find their own direction when facing relationship challenges, life transitions, or self-esteem concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying practical steps and strengths that lead to change, offering brief, goal-oriented strategies that suit those seeking clear, actionable progress on stress, anxiety, or career and parenting concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy provides targeted techniques to address the effects of trauma and abuse, helping individuals process difficult memories and reduce their impact on daily functioning.



Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Christopher will collaborate with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process means adjustments can be made over time to ensure the approach remains effective and comfortable.



Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, limited mobility, or those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to maintain continuity of support when in-person visits are not feasible, while still allowing licensed professionals to provide focused, supportive care from a distance.
