About Christopher

Christopher Chaney is a Kentucky LPCC with 27 years of clinical experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and life changes.

He focuses on practical work people can use right away. Sessions emphasize finding solutions and using cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. He prefers clear, goal-oriented conversations rather than long open-ended exploration.

Christopher aims to be an accessible option for people starting or returning to mental health care. He has experience coordinating with psychiatrists in a client's community and can help identify local prescribers who take insurance when that is needed. He keeps a flexible schedule to respond when someone is having a difficult period.

His approach centers on helping clients spot patterns that keep problems going and then testing small changes that can reduce stress and improve relationships. He uses Client-Centered Therapy ideas to listen and clarify a person's priorities, and Solution-Focused methods to map practical steps toward those goals.

Sessions are run using a live chat format. That format is used to offer a lower barrier for people new to therapy or those who prefer written conversation. Christopher works with adults in Kentucky and conducts sessions in English.

How sessions work

Approaches used in remote sessions

Christopher uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and help clients clarify what matters most to them. That approach focuses on the client's priorities and on clear, respectful conversation about goals.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT helps people test unhelpful thoughts and try out different behaviors to reduce stress, anger, or anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences, and he adjusts plans based on what is helpful in practice.

Sessions are delivered via a live chat format according to his stated practice. Live chat can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and sometimes feels more comfortable for people new to therapy. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what to expect.
