About Christopher

Christopher Mabrey is an LMHC based in Indiana with a decade of professional experience that includes roles as a school counselor and mental health therapist.

Background and approach

He has supported people facing a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, addiction, ADHD, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, career questions, and grief. His background reflects work with both emotional and physical trauma and a variety of everyday stressors.

His style is interactive and person-focused, emphasizing respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care without resorting to stigmatizing labels. Christopher draws from cognitive behavioral methods alongside client-centered and emotionally focused ideas, blending narrative and mindfulness elements when useful to tailor conversations and treatment plans.

He aims to help clients identify practical skills and healthier ways of thinking while honoring each person’s values and lived experience. Christopher frames therapy as a collaborative process that encourages growth and empowerment.

He welcomes international clients and offers multiple remote session formats to fit different schedules and preferences, working to create an approach that aligns with each client’s goals and circumstances.

Approaches for Online Care and Practical Change

Christopher integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and supports the client’s own process of discovery and growth.

He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy for clients who want to explore patterns in important relationships and in-the-moment emotional responses, helping people understand and reshape how they connect with others. Together these approaches offer a mix of skill-building, reflective exploration, and relational focus that can be adapted as goals evolve.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself, and the therapist collaborates with each client to choose methods that fit their needs, preferences, and goals. The therapist will try different strategies and tailor the plan so the client feels involved in decisions about pacing and focus.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and for people with different comfort levels around communication. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care across life transitions and busy schedules while working with licensed professionals.
