About Christopher

Christopher Massey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who draws on five years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and a broad range of life challenges.

Background and approach

He emphasizes a collaborative, strengths-based way of working that centers the person’s goals and preferences, using skills and strategies from cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and attachment-informed approaches. Christopher frames progress as practical and measurable, helping clients develop coping tools for sleep, eating, anger, and other daily struggles while addressing deeper issues such as trauma, grief, and intimacy concerns.

He also works with concerns related to relationships, parenting, career changes, bipolar spectrum conditions, and ADHD, and addresses additional areas like adoption and foster care, attachment and personality issues, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. Christopher practices with empathy and respect, aiming to reduce stigma and collaborate on individualized treatment plans.

He invites motivated people to take steps toward change by identifying concrete goals and building skills for long-term coping and resilience. Based in Missouri, Christopher communicates in English and accepts international clients.

He offers flexible session formats to fit varied schedules and life circumstances, guiding each person through a process of figuring out the best-fit strategies and supports for their needs.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Christopher uses cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete behavioral strategies for problems like anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties. CBT sessions focus on practical skills and step-by-step plans to change thinking and behavior. He also integrates attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses, which can be useful for relationship concerns, intimacy issues, and grief.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christopher works with each person to clarify goals and preferences, and he adjusts methods over time so therapy fits the client’s needs. This collaborative stance helps tailor the mix of skills training, mindfulness practice, or relational work to what will be most useful for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy lives and to access help from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals to teach coping skills, review progress, and provide ongoing coaching in ways that accommodate scheduling, accessibility, and comfort.
