About Christopher

Christopher Massey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of experience supporting people facing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, addictions, and other mental health issues. He has worked with individuals who have experienced trauma, abuse, and neglect, helping them develop practical strategies to manage symptoms and rebuild stability.

His approach is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, dignity, empathy, and compassion, and he avoids stigmatizing labels when working with people. Christopher draws from a range of therapeutic methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered and attachment-based perspectives, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness practices, tailoring those approaches to each person's needs.

He meets clients where they are and collaborates with them to define meaningful goals, creating individualized treatment plans that emphasize strengths and teach concrete coping skills. Christopher encourages steady progress and offers guidance through life transitions and recovery, framing the decision to seek help as a sign of strength. He is available to support and empower those who are ready to take steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online care



Christopher uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and to address issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, and intimacy concerns. This approach helps people understand relational dynamics and develop more secure ways of connecting.

Client-Centered Therapy is another foundation of his work - it emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, with the therapist following the client’s lead to help clarify values and goals. This style can be especially helpful for self-esteem, life transitions, and building personal insight.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering tools to manage anxiety, stress, and mood challenges. Christopher collaborates with each person to determine which approaches fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts methods as therapy progresses.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit care into busy lives, reach people in remote locations, and maintain consistency across changing circumstances. Licensed professionals can adapt session format and pace so therapy remains accessible, flexible, and tailored to each individual.
