About Christopher

Christopher Martin is a licensed counselor practicing in Indiana with 14 years of professional experience. He holds credentials as an LPCC and an LMHC and brings a background in psychology and counseling to his clinical work.

Background and approach

Christopher has focused much of his practice on trauma-related concerns while helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and self-esteem difficulties. His approach weaves together client-centered principles with cognitive and mindfulness-based strategies to promote practical change and emotional resilience.

Christopher emphasizes acceptance and accountability, encouraging clients to make daily adjustments that support growth rather than pursuing an unrealistic ideal of perfection. He pays attention to the connection between physical and mental health and adapts conversations and treatment plans in collaboration with each individual.

Christopher aims to offer a respectful, compassionate space where clients’ goals guide the work. He is open about the courage it takes to begin therapy and frames his role as a partner in the process, helping people develop skills and strategies tailored to their particular concerns and life circumstances.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Christopher often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, stress, and mood concerns, using practical exercises and skills practice. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and acceptance strategies, helping clients cultivate psychological flexibility and pursue meaningful life directions even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore which methods best match their goals, preferences, and needs, adjusting techniques over time as progress and feedback indicate what is most effective.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from home or work. These options allow for flexible scheduling and different modes of interaction so that clients and therapists can choose the format that best supports skill practice, reflection, and ongoing communication.
