About Christopher

Christopher Whittington is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, family conflict, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, anger, career questions, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

He brings seven years of clinical practice to his work and emphasizes creating an atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be expressed without judgment. Christopher encourages clients to take the first step toward change and recognizes the courage involved in beginning therapy.

His approach blends practical, evidence-informed techniques with a warm, client-centered stance. He draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping skills, while also incorporating mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support present-moment awareness and intrinsic motivation.

Existential perspectives help explore meaning and values when clients face life changes or questions about purpose. Christopher’s style aims to be collaborative and straightforward, helping clients articulate goals, try new strategies, and track progress at a pace that fits their needs.

Practical approaches for online therapy and personal growth

Christopher uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach focuses on building concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, stress, and related concerns. He also draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship in which the client’s own goals and pace guide the work. These methods pair well with mindfulness techniques that foster present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Christopher collaborates with clients to determine what feels most useful. Together they review goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps the client make steady progress. The therapist’s role is to support exploration while honoring each person’s values and preferences.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and make therapy accessible within daily life. These options allow clients to fit sessions into work, family, and other responsibilities while maintaining continuity of care. Practical tools and homework can be shared between sessions to reinforce new skills and track change over time.
