About Christopher

Christopher Santos is an LPC based in Pennsylvania who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem struggles, motivation challenges, and other life transitions. He helps clients navigate relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related and parenting issues, as well as addiction and career-related stress.

Background and approach

With three years of professional experience, he draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to create tailored plans that reflect each person’s situation and goals. Christopher works from a stance of respect, sensitivity, and compassion, centering the person’s perspective when shaping conversations and interventions.

He uses practical skills and reflective dialogue to address emotional patterns and day-to-day difficulties, and he adjusts pace and focus as needs evolve. Prospective clients are invited to view the first step toward change as one that requires courage, and he aims to provide steady support throughout that process.

Approaches that guide online care

Christopher commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into his online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical strategies, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and addictive patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and building a collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and respected while exploring personal goals and values.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christopher aims to collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and responsive to progress and changing concerns.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care while balancing everyday responsibilities, and they allow licensed professionals to use the same skill-building and reflective techniques typically used in person.
