About Christopher
Christopher Denzler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship strain, and the effects of trauma. He works with parents and individuals on parenting challenges, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating issues, and coping with big life changes. Christopher also supports people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career stress.
He trained for his master's degree in Licensed Professional Counseling at Liberty University and has eight years of clinical experience. Much of his work has involved child welfare and juvenile probation contexts, so he is familiar with systems that affect families and young people. He has also worked with youth with sexually maladaptive behaviors as a Credentialed Sexually Abusive Youths Counselor (CSAYC) since 2017.
In sessions he draws from several established approaches to fit each person's needs. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy are used for coping skills and emotion regulation. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods guide work on relationships and communication.
His style emphasizes strengths and a trauma-informed perspective. That means noticing what already works for a person and building on it while attending to past harms. He may use art or play techniques when appropriate and borrows practical tools from solution-focused and motivational interviewing methods.
People who want to start can expect straightforward, goal-oriented conversations that aim to make daily life more manageable and to reduce distress over time.
How his approaches shape online therapy
Christopher commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking actions that matter despite difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT can help when someone is stuck by connecting daily choices to what they care about most.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments to change behavior and mood. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and coping with stressful situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, sessions can be scheduled around work or childcare, or be shorter check-ins when time is limited. Some approaches translate well to remote meetings because they use concrete tools, homework, and skill practice that can be done between sessions.
