About Christopher
Christopher Santos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with three years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem concerns, and motivation. He also supports those facing addiction, grief, relationship and family tensions, parenting struggles, career decisions, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Christopher keeps sessions direct and respectful. He listens first, and then works with each person to shape a plan that fits daily life. Conversations focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
His style blends client-centered care with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused approaches. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of his work when they match a client’s goals. Sessions tend to balance talking through feelings with concrete skills practice.
Christopher emphasizes sensitivity and compassion in the room. He invites people to name what matters to them and to set achievable goals. He encourages small changes that build confidence and reduce overwhelm.
People who want straightforward support for common life stresses often find this approach useful. If someone needs help identifying next steps after a loss, relapse, separation, or disaster, Christopher aims to provide steady guidance and practical strategies.
How his approaches work for online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and needs. It involves active listening and shaping the work around what the client says matters most. This approach helps people who want a supportive space to talk through hard decisions and to build their own solutions.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses straightforward exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and behavior changes like substance use or eating concerns.
Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions and how they affect relationships with others. It can be a good fit when strong feelings are getting in the way of connection or daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to focus on skills practice, emotional processing, or a mix of both.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session format options before booking. The practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into a busy day, fewer travel demands, and flexible scheduling that can help maintain momentum between meetings. Talk with the therapist about how to make sessions a good fit for your routine and needs.
