About Christopher
Christopher Andrews is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Georgia with 18 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and anger. He also pays special attention to post-traumatic stress concerns.
Andrews approaches sessions in a direct, practical way. He uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and manage intense feelings. Sessions are about learning skills that can be used between meetings as well as talking through what happened.
Early in his career he worked in community behavioral health settings. That background gave him experience with a wide range of concerns and the everyday pressures people bring into therapy. Over time he kept focusing on strategies that produce observable change in mood and behavior.
In sessions he tends to be straightforward and skills-focused. Clients review recent situations, try short experiments, and practice coping strategies during appointments. The aim is to reduce reactivity, rebuild calm thinking, and improve day-to-day functioning.
Outside work he lives in Georgia with his family and spends time outdoors staying active. He wants therapy to fit into a person’s life, not become another stressor. To begin, follow the site’s online process to match and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How CBT and DBT translate to online sessions
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and managing anger by breaking situations into thoughts, feelings, and actions to find small, concrete changes.DBT, or dialectical behavior therapy, emphasizes skills for regulating emotion, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful when emotions feel overwhelming and someone needs straightforward tools to reduce reactivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which skills and methods fit their needs and goals. That may mean mixing CBT exercises with DBT skills practice and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping work and appointments compact. Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed on the biography. Many people appreciate shorter commutes, the ability to schedule sessions around work, and using time between appointments to try new coping skills in daily life.
