About Christopher
Dr. Christopher Graham is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Oklahoma with 13 years of experience. He focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy matters, and parenting-related challenges.
He aims to make the first step easier for people who feel nervous about starting therapy. He builds a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about difficult feelings and worries. Sessions are conversational and practical.
He listens first, then helps clients decide what small changes might make daily life easier.
Background and approach
His background includes work with mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, and with anxiety, grief, and stress. He also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, career stress, and shifts that come with major life changes. He pays attention to patterns that began in earlier family relationships and how those patterns show up now.
Dr. Graham uses a mix of evidence-based approaches chosen to fit each person. He often draws on acceptance and commitment strategies, attachment ideas, cognitive behavioral tools, and techniques for processing traumatic memories.
He discusses options and tailors the plan to what a person wants to work on. Sessions can be done by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit busy schedules. He speaks English and sees people located in Oklahoma.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.

Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and values-based action. It helps people accept uncomfortable feelings while committing to steps that matter to them and can be useful for stress, anxiety, and parenting challenges.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections. It helps people understand trust, closeness, and conflict patterns so they can try new ways of relating in present relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try approaches that fit, and adjust plans as progress is seen. That helps ensure work stays useful and relevant to real-life parenting and relationship demands.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy life. Video is useful for deeper conversations and exercises that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible, and text or chat can work well for brief check-ins or when someone needs flexible timing. These options make it easier to schedule around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
