About Christopher

Dr. Christopher Graham is an Oklahoma-licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of professional experience supporting people through relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, mood disorders, and life transitions.

Background and approach

He draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to help clients identify patterns, build skills, and pursue meaningful change while honoring each person’s pace and priorities. His style emphasizes openness and nonjudgmental collaboration; he aims to create a space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed honestly and explored constructively.

Dr. Graham integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with acceptance- and attachment-oriented perspectives and other modalities to tailor sessions to what each client brings.

He also addresses practical stressors such as career strain, caregiving burdens, grief, and compassion fatigue. Clients who start work with him typically engage in a mix of skills training, reflective exploration, and goal-focused planning.

Dr. Graham encourages the courage it takes to begin therapy and partners with clients to identify workable strategies for coping, improving emotional regulation, and strengthening relationships.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms such as anxiety and depression and to improve everyday functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and commit to actions that align with what matters most, which can aid coping during life transitions and chronic stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational patterns shape current connections and communication, offering strategies to improve intimacy and repair relational wounds.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to consider their goals, symptoms, and personal preferences and then adapt methods accordingly, combining techniques as needed to create an individualized plan that feels workable and relevant.

Online therapy with Dr. Graham is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it possible to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care during life changes, and use a mode of communication that best supports a client’s comfort and progress.
