About Christopher

Christopher Chaney is a Kentucky-licensed counselor (LPCC) with 27 years of professional experience helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family conflict, and work-related challenges.

Background and approach

He also supports people facing compassion fatigue, LGBT concerns, parenting and career issues, mood disorders including bipolar and ADHD, and a wide range of additional concerns such as obsessive-compulsive symptoms, post-traumatic stress, isolation, and life purpose questions. His practice emphasizes practical, solution-oriented work that helps clients identify steps to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

He integrates cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and uses client-centered principles to create a collaborative, respectful space for problem solving. Christopher prioritizes accessibility and flexible scheduling to meet people when they are struggling and coordinates with other providers when appropriate.

Based in Kentucky, he conducts sessions in English and offers multiple online formats to fit different preferences. His approach is focused on helping clients build skills, clarify goals, and move toward measurable change while honoring each person’s experiences and strengths.

How his therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Christopher integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify and shift patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and other mood concerns; these strategies are practical and often involve homework and skill-building between sessions. He also uses a client-centered stance that emphasizes active listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients feel heard and involved in setting goals. Solution-focused methods are used to map small, achievable steps toward change and to highlight existing strengths and resources that can be built on.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting methods over time so therapy remains aligned with the client’s needs and progress.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility limitations. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care and to access therapy from different settings while still working on concrete skills, problem solving, and emotional support with a licensed professional.
