About Chris

Chris Freeman-Clark is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) in Ohio who focuses on helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and ADHD-related concerns.

Background and approach

With 21 years of clinical experience, he works with people confronting trauma, grief, anger, addictions, family-of-origin issues, and life transitions, offering steady support for those seeking change but unsure where to begin.

He draws on client-centered principles to create an empathic space that respects each person’s goals, and uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational interviewing techniques are also part of his practice to help clients find internal motivation for change.

Chris emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while empowering clients to build more satisfying and functional lives.

Approaches and Online Care That Fit Your Life



Client-centered therapy emphasizes an accepting, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to support self-directed growth. This approach is helpful for people who need emotional validation, want to explore personal values, or need a supportive space to process difficult experiences.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through practical, skills-based work. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday difficulties where changing thinking and habits leads to measurable progress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the specific challenges you bring, then recommend techniques or a blend of methods that fit your needs. Clients and therapist can adjust strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, letting people access care from home or work and fit sessions into busy schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life or location makes in-person visits difficult, and they allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support using approaches like client-centered work and CBT.
