About Christopher
Christopher Jainandan is a licensed mental health counselor who aims to help people talk about what’s bothering them and find practical ways forward. He encourages openness about mental health and substance concerns and works to reduce the stigma many clients face. Christopher writes in plain terms and focuses on making therapy a positive experience for each person who chooses to work with him.
He uses straightforward conversation and active listening to understand a client’s situation. Sessions address anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma and abuse, and addiction concerns among other challenges. He also supports people coping with relationship and family stress, grief, parenting strain, and work or career issues.
Christopher blends several approaches to match what each person needs. He draws on client-centered methods to follow the client’s lead, cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thinking, and dialectical behavior strategies to build emotion regulation skills. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also in his toolbox when relevant.
He trained at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, and completed a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Capella University. Christopher has roughly ten years of experience in the mental health and substance abuse field and practices in Florida as an FL LMHC.
His background includes having lived in Guyana before moving to the United States in his early teens. He welcomes conversations about coping with life changes, first responder issues, men’s concerns, ADHD, codependency, and coping with natural or human-caused disasters. International clients may also work with him in English.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Client-centered therapy emphasizes following the client’s lead and listening closely to what matters most to them, which helps build trust and set goals that feel relevant. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and panic-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods seem most helpful based on goals, preferences, and how problems show up day to day. That may mean trying one approach for a time and adjusting as needed.
