About Christopher
Christopher Whittington is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Louisiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. He works with clients coping with addictions, family conflict, low self-esteem, ADHD-related struggles, and career or life transitions. He aims to make the first steps into therapy feel doable and respectful.
Christopher keeps sessions straightforward and focused. He creates an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about feelings and practical problems.
Background and approach
Conversations tend to center on small, achievable changes rather than long lectures or complicated jargon. His approach mixes client-centered conversation with techniques from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness methods. That means he listens first, then helps clients test new ideas and try simple practices that can change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools also guide short-term goals and momentum. Sessions often include concrete skill-building. Clients may work on stress management, emotion regulation, relapse prevention, or communication strategies for strained relationships.
Christopher uses short exercises, goal planning, and steady check-ins to track progress over time. He brings seven years of professional experience to his work and holds the LPC credential. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Approaches that translate well to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist creates space for someone to describe worries, parenting stresses, or relationship strain, and then follows their lead to set goals and next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress by teaching practical tools to change thinking and routine responses.
Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These methods can help with stress, cravings, emotional overwhelm, and staying present during parenting challenges.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try strategies in session, and adjust the plan as needed so methods fit the person's life and needs.
Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, homework, or tracking progress between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy family schedules and varied routines.
