Christopher Massey, LCSW

Christopher Massey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who uses a straightforward, people-focused approach. He centers sessions on respect and empathy and helps individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life shifts. Christopher emphasizes practical steps and clear goals so clients can make usable changes. He brings five years of clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns. Those include trauma, abuse, relationship strain, addictions, parenting stress, grief, and issues with sleep and eating. He also supports people dealing with career changes, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. Christopher’s style is warm and interactive. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to hear each person’s priorities, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. In the first sessions he focuses on what the person wants to change. Together they set clear, achievable goals and make a plan. He teaches coping skills and practical strategies that people can use between sessions. Christopher avoids labels and works to create a respectful environment. He encourages people to view asking for help as strength. If someone is ready to make a change, he offers steady support and coaching through that process.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions using this perspective often look at trust, connection, and responding to triggers in day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into small steps. In remote work CBT tools include thought records, behavior experiments, and short practical homework to test new ways of coping. Finding the right approach is a collaborative effort. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, then suggest approaches that fit. Clients and the therapist check in together and adjust methods based on what actually helps in weekly work. Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online care can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular check-ins during a workweek. Because the biography does not specify which session formats are offered, confirm current session options before booking. Many people find that online sessions make it easier to practice skills between meetings and to weave therapy into daily routines.
