About Christopher

Christopher Chaney is an LPCC licensed in Kentucky with 27 years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship conflict, career strain, and the challenges of life transitions. He also supports people dealing with trauma, obsessive-compulsive concerns, mood issues, and questions tied to identity and parenting.

Christopher favors straightforward, solution-focused work. He uses cognitive-behavioral strategies alongside client-centered methods. Sessions concentrate on practical steps that address what is happening now and what can change soon.

He aims to be an accessible option for people starting or returning to therapy. Christopher coordinates with other professionals in the community when that helps a client’s care. He keeps a flexible schedule to respond when someone is having a difficult period.

Christopher primarily uses a live chat format for sessions. He believes chat can lower barriers for people new to therapy and still allow a strong working relationship. That format also makes it possible to focus on short-term, solution-focused work when clients want direct, action-oriented help.

His background includes long-term practice with adult mood and anxiety concerns, trauma-related conditions, and family and caregiver stress. He draws on years of experience to help people identify small, practical changes they can try between sessions.

How his approaches translate to online work

Christopher uses client-centered methods to focus on the person’s concerns and preferences, helping them set goals and guide the pace of work. This approach is useful when someone needs a space to talk through personal decisions, family problems, or identity questions.

He also uses cognitive-behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, obsessive habits, and mood regulation by teaching specific strategies to test and change unhelpful thinking and behavior.

Solution-focused therapy is another core tool. It emphasizes small, concrete steps and quick experiments people can try between sessions. That approach tends to suit people who want practical changes and clear, short-term goals.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Christopher will discuss goals and preferences and collaborate on which approaches to use. He will adapt plans based on what helps most as sessions progress.

His practice primarily uses a live chat session format. If you are considering working together, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a day off, and reduce barriers for people new to talking with a therapist.
