About Christopher
Christopher Hohaia is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and intimacy-related issues. He also supports those facing depression, addiction, grief, parenting strains, career questions, and compassion fatigue. He works with people who identify as LGBT and with first responder issues.
He keeps conversations direct and respectful. Sessions focus on listening first, then shaping practical steps you can try between meetings. He adapts plans so they fit a person's life and priorities rather than forcing a single method.
Background and approach
Over six years of practice have given him experience across hospital, community, or outpatient settings. That experience informs how he approaches crisis moments, ongoing anxiety, and relationship patterns. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide treatment choices.
Christopher is licensed as a clinical social worker in Florida and Utah. He offers sessions in English and aims to be sensitive to diverse backgrounds and identities. He emphasizes empathy and clear communication when discussing hard topics.
In sessions he balances talk with concrete tools. Expect goal-setting, regular check-ins, and work you can try between appointments. The aim is to build skills that help with daily stressors and longer-term changes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Evidence-based cognitive and behavioral strategies focus on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. In practice this means noticing stressful thoughts, testing them with real-life experiments, and practicing alternative responses that reduce anxiety and improve relationships.Trauma-informed talk work emphasizes safety, pacing, and regulating strong emotions. This approach helps when past events keep showing up in daily life by teaching grounding skills and ways to manage intense feelings during and after difficult memories.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques together, and adjust methods as goals and needs become clearer. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send shorter updates, ask questions between sessions, or check in when schedules are tight. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work lives while maintaining a steady course of support.
