More about Christopher

  • 9 years' experience

  • LCSW

I am an LCSW therapist licensed New York State. I have 9 years of professional work experience. I have worked in publicly funded mental health clinics, as well as substance abuse treatment communities.

I have experience in helping a wide range of clients, from children to adults, couples and families, with a wide range of metal health presentations. I have partnered with clients to improve their issues with stress, anxiety, relationships, anger management, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and trying to understand their unique experience.

I will strategize our discussions and treatment plan to your unique and specific needs. Making the first more towards therapy can be daunting. I am proud of your courage in getting started!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
