About Christopher
Christopher Massey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Missouri who uses cognitive behavioral principles alongside client-centered and attachment-informed methods to address a broad range of concerns.
Background and approach
With five years of professional experience, he has supported people facing depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and the effects of trauma and abuse. He also works with challenges like sleep and eating difficulties, parenting struggles, career stress, bipolar concerns, and life transitions.
His style blends an interactive, compassionate stance with practical skills training, helping clients identify goals and build coping strategies that fit their lives. Christopher emphasizes respect and empathy while avoiding stigmatizing labels, and he collaborates with each person to create individualized plans.
He also brings experience addressing areas such as attachment issues, codependency, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, adoption and foster care concerns, and ADHD-related struggles. Available to both domestic and international clients, Christopher offers sessions using multiple formats to increase accessibility.
He frames seeking help as a courageous step and focuses on empowering clients toward meaningful change and improved day-to-day functioning.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Christopher integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy into his online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in close relationships and can help people understand and shift how they relate to others, which is useful for intimacy, relationship, and trauma-related concerns.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. He works with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, then tailors methods and goals together rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Clients can expect a balance of skills training, reflective work, and goal-setting based on their unique priorities.
Online therapy with him is offered through flexible formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, access support from home or while traveling, and choose the interaction style that feels most helpful for therapeutic progress.
