About Christopher
Christopher Dennison is a licensed marriage and family therapist with eight years of clinical experience. He works with people facing depression, relationship strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, and career concerns. Christopher practices in Tennessee and conducts sessions in English.
His style is warm, caring, and direct. He aims to help people notice patterns that get in the way and try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on practical steps a person can use between meetings, not just talking about problems.
Background and approach
Christopher draws on approaches that emphasize connections and values. He uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early bonds shape current relationships. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action despite difficult feelings.
In sessions he helps people untangle family dynamics and work through mood challenges. He looks at how relationships - especially close bonds - influence emotions and behavior. He also supports parents who are feeling overwhelmed or unsure about next steps.
Christopher usually offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then helps schedule appointments that fit both parties. The payment model uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people identify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. It can be useful for mood issues, low motivation, and getting unstuck from unhelpful patterns.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current behavior and emotions. It is aimed at improving closeness and trust in relationships and can help when family dynamics or attachment issues cause ongoing stress.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and reshaping emotional responses between people. It helps clients name core emotional experiences and try new ways of relating that reduce conflict and increase connection.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each client about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will choose methods and practical exercises that match the person's needs and schedule.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text can be handy for quick check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options provide flexibility to meet regularly without long travel times and make it easier to keep therapy consistent.
