About Christopher
Christopher Santos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with three years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and motivation challenges. Christopher also supports people facing relationship and family tensions, grief, parenting pressures, addiction concerns, and the strain of life transitions.
He uses straightforward conversation and evidence-based methods to address immediate problems and build practical skills. Sessions focus on what is happening now, what patterns keep reappearing, and small changes that reduce distress. Christopher combines listening with clear strategies so people can try things between sessions.
His approach draws on client-centered work that centers the person's perspective, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and emotionally focused ideas to look at patterns in important relationships. He also uses mindfulness to build calm and motivational interviewing when people want to find the drive to change.
Christopher pays attention to issues that commonly affect stepparents and blended households, such as divided loyalties, co-parenting with an ex, and merging routines. He offers practical steps to manage conflict and set realistic expectations while respecting everyone involved.
People can expect direct, respectful conversation and concrete tools to practice between meetings. Christopher explains options clearly and revisits plans as needs change. He asks about goals up front and tracks progress so sessions stay focused and useful.
Therapeutic approaches in remote sessions
Christopher draws on client-centered methods that focus on the person’s experience and priorities, helping them name what matters and set goals. This approach is useful when someone needs to feel heard and to shape a plan around their life.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT provides practical exercises for anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful patterns that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Christopher will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. That collaboration lets the person help steer which tools are used and how they are applied.
