About Christopher

Christopher Jainandan is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, mood challenges, and ADHD.

Background and approach

He approaches clients with an emphasis on openness and collaboration, encouraging honest discussion about the concerns that feel most pressing and exploring practical options to move toward improved well-being. Christopher brings a decade of professional experience to his work and aims to reduce the stigma often associated with mental health and substance use by normalizing help seeking.

Born in Guyana and raised in the United States from his early teens, Christopher earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Rollins College and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University.

He combines client-centered principles with evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, along with mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques. Christopher’s practice addresses a wide range of issues including relationships, trauma and grief, eating and sleep concerns, career challenges, and compassion fatigue.

He welcomes international clients and adapts his approach to align with each person’s goals and circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Christopher frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for changing behaviors and emotional responses. CBT is often suited to concerns like anxiety, depression, panic, and many mood-related challenges.

He also incorporates dialectical behavior therapy techniques, which focus on teaching emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills. DBT-informed work can be useful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and managing impulsive or self-destructive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and he works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. The clinician will discuss options and adjust techniques over time so care aligns with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy with Christopher is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with varying schedules and locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from Florida or abroad while adapting to individual routines.
