About Christopher
Christopher Santos is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and parenting concerns. He draws on a few years of clinical experience to offer steady support and practical steps. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on small, achievable changes.
He keeps sessions direct and respectful. Christopher listens first, then helps clients set clear goals together. He uses conversational techniques to build motivation and to address negative thinking patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Background and approach
His approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies and emotion-focused ideas. That means clients are heard and guided to try new ways of thinking, feeling, and acting. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear when they match a person’s goals.
Christopher has three years of professional experience as an LPC, and he works from Pennsylvania. He tailors each plan to the needs the person brings, whether the focus is on healing from past hurts, coping with life changes, or managing everyday stress. Sessions aim to be practical and realistic.
Christopher encourages parents and individuals to build routines, practice small experiments between meetings, and track what helps. The work is collaborative and paced to fit each person’s comfort level.

How his approach works online
Christopher blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused ideas to guide online sessions. Client-centered work means conversations start with the client's concerns and priorities, creating space to be heard and to set goals. Cognitive behavioral techniques help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which suits concerns like anxiety, depression, and parenting stress. Emotionally-focused ideas help readers identify and name strong emotions and try new ways of relating to those feelings when they arise.Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. Christopher will work together with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and comfort level, adjusting methods as needed. The plan evolves based on what works in real life and what the client wants to achieve.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you see and hear the therapist for a fuller conversation, while phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day or to share thoughts between sessions. These options give flexibility to work around schedules and different communication preferences.
