About Christopher

Christopher Harper is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who brings nine years of clinical experience to his work. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction while also addressing concerns related to identity, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Harper emphasizes practical skill-building and emotional insight to support clients facing issues such as grief, trauma, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. His practice reflects an awareness of multicultural and LGBTQ concerns and pays particular attention to men's issues, communication problems, and patterns like codependency and control struggles.

He combines evidence-informed methods to help clients develop coping strategies, improve relationships, and clarify life purpose. Christopher aims to create an affirming therapeutic environment where clients can explore self-love, work through shame or guilt, and find more effective ways to navigate interpersonal and career-related challenges.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Christopher uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice concrete behavioral changes that reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is also part of his toolbox, a collaborative style that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, particularly useful for addiction, career shifts, or commitment concerns.

Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort. He partners with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adapts techniques from these evidence-informed methods to match what works best for each person. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to build skills, increase insight, and move toward practical goals.

Online therapy with Christopher is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which supports flexible scheduling and access from different locations within Texas. These formats make it easier to fit care into busy lives, continue work during transitions, and maintain momentum between sessions while working toward meaningful change.
