About Christopher

Christopher Chaney, LPCC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. He also supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting pressures, compassion fatigue, and concerns tied to ADHD or bipolar mood patterns. His approach aims to be straightforward and practical, so people can get help that fits their day-to-day needs.

He uses a solution-focused stance that looks for workable steps rather than dwelling on problems. Cognitive behavioral strategies are part of sessions, helping people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. He centers the conversation on the client’s goals and choices, so people find solutions that feel realistic to them.

Christopher has 27 years of professional experience and holds an LPCC, a licensed professional clinical counselor credential in Kentucky. He has worked with many adults across concerns such as trauma, obsessive-compulsive issues, psychosis, family conflict, and job-related stress.

His practice emphasizes accessibility and flexibility. He aims to coordinate with a client’s psychiatrist or help locate one who accepts their insurance when that is needed. He also tries to make room in the schedule when someone is having a particularly hard time.

Sessions focus on helping clients build coping skills, reduce symptoms that limit daily life, and develop plans that move them toward their goals. People who prefer a written, conversational session style may find his format comfortable and easy to fit into everyday routines.

Approaches and how online work can help

Christopher uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions focus on the client’s perspective and goals, with the therapist offering guidance that follows the person’s lead. This approach helps people feel heard and make choices that fit their life.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. CBT is often used to address anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep problems going by teaching practical skills to change those patterns.

Solution-Focused Therapy is part of his practice as well, emphasizing small, achievable steps and the client’s own strengths to create progress. This approach tends to work well when someone wants quick, concrete changes in how they handle daily challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan over time based on what helps.

Confirm the available session options before booking to be sure they fit your routine. Many people appreciate online formats because they can fit sessions into work breaks, reduce travel time, and choose modes that match how they communicate best. The focus remains on making therapy usable and relevant to everyday life.
