About Christopher

Christopher White is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 18 years of clinical experience. He supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression, with additional attention to men's issues and process addictions such as problematic porn use, exercise, and gambling.

Background and approach

Christopher emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance and aims to create a collaborative space where clients feel heard and valued. His style blends practical, skills-based work with motivational strategies to help clients move toward meaningful change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) inform much of his approach, paired with motivational interviewing techniques when building readiness for change. Treatment is individualized, with sessions and plans tailored to each person’s specific needs and goals.

Christopher frames therapy as a partnership that requires courage and commitment, and he focuses on empowering clients rather than assigning stigmatizing labels. He invites those ready to take steps toward improved wellbeing to engage in a process that emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and practical tools for everyday life.

Applying evidence-informed approaches in online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing different ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress, which can be useful for those dealing with emotional overwhelm or patterns linked to addiction. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that helps clarify values and build motivation to change behaviors when readiness is unclear or ambivalence is present.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Christopher works with clients to determine which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative assessment guides treatment planning so interventions match what a person hopes to accomplish.

Online therapy with this clinician can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional without needing to travel, and they allow skills practice and check-ins to be integrated into daily life as clients work toward their goals.
