About Christopher

Christopher Pieper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 12 years of experience. He focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, anger, and parenting concerns, and also supports people facing motivation, self-esteem, and confidence challenges.

He uses straightforward conversation and practical skills in sessions. He adapts how he talks and plans work with each person instead of using one fixed method. This means sessions often combine talk, behavioral tools, and goal-focused exercises to address what matters most right now.

Christopher draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. He also integrates attachment-based and client-centered ideas when they fit the concern. These methods are used to help with problems like grief, trauma, addiction, sleep and eating troubles, and career strain.

People who come for anger concerns can expect a focus on recognizing triggers, practicing emotion-regulation skills, and building clearer communication. He also works with related issues such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue when they affect mood and behavior.

Sessions are conducted in English and follow the LPC scope of practice in Texas. To begin, clients select the online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

Approaches used in online sessions and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and committing to values-based action. It can help when anger feels automatic or gets in the way of important relationships or goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to shift patterns. It is useful for reducing reactive thinking, addressing workplace frustration, and changing unhelpful coping habits.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills can help when anger leads to impulsive responses or difficulty calming down.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with the client to see which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans can change as progress is made and new priorities appear.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a lunch break, avoid travel time, or use a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Discussing timing and format during the matching process helps fit therapy into everyday life without promising a particular session type.
