About Christopher

Christopher Chaney is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky with 27 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, work and family strain, and challenges like obsessive thoughts or mood shifts. He aims to be an accessible option for those beginning or returning to therapy and works to make initial steps easier to take.

Christopher emphasizes a straightforward, problem-solving style in sessions. He favors solution-focused work that helps people identify practical steps toward their goals. He also uses cognitive behavioral tools to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

He often coordinates care with community psychiatrists when medication consultation or psychiatric follow-up is needed, and can assist in locating psychiatric care that aligns with a client’s insurance. He keeps a flexible schedule to accommodate times when people are struggling and need prompt support.

Christopher primarily uses a live chat session format and finds this approach increases comfort for people new to therapy while still building a strong working relationship. He sees chat as a way to lower barriers and let people engage at their own pace.

His style is practical and collaborative. He helps people break down problems into manageable steps, test changes, and track progress over time. He welcomes questions about how his approach might fit specific concerns related to work, family, mood, or stress.

How his approaches fit online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s needs. It emphasizes empathy and respect so the person feels heard and understood. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through emotions and make sense of their priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and habits and try small experiments to change them. It is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood concerns by teaching new coping steps to use day to day.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what works and on clear, short-term goals. It helps people identify small, achievable changes that lead to quicker improvements in daily functioning and work-life balance.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist will work together with the client to decide what fits best. That decision is based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and may shift as progress is made.

This therapist primarily offers live chat sessions, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and can lower the barrier to starting treatment. If you want different session options, confirm the current formats before booking so you can pick what works with your routine.
