About Christopher
Christopher Chaney, LPCC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. He offers a steady, approachable presence for adults coping with life changes, parenting concerns, compassion fatigue, mood disorders, and issues related to adoption and foster care. He practices in Kentucky and communicates in English.
With 27 years of experience, he focuses on straightforward, goal-oriented work. He leans on solution-focused methods that help people identify small, practical steps forward. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Client-centered principles shape sessions so the person sets the pace and direction.
His practice aims to be accessible and flexible for people who need help while juggling busy lives. He coordinates care with local psychiatrists when that is helpful and can assist in finding community providers who take a person’s insurance. Scheduling is handled to accommodate times when someone is having a particularly hard period.
Sessions are provided in a live chat format only. He believes this format can be easier for those new to therapy and can make it simpler to focus on solutions while building a working relationship. The chat approach is intended to support people who prefer typing and a quieter, less intrusive session style.
People who want a practical, collaborative approach may find his style useful. He aims to help clients identify immediate steps, manage symptoms, and build habits that support longer term well-being.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects what the person says, checks their priorities, and adjusts pace to match the person’s needs. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of their feelings and set personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. In sessions he helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try concrete changes, like testing a thought or practicing a different behavior. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and mood problems by giving clear skills to use between sessions.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes finding what works now and building on it. The therapist helps identify small, achievable steps and tracks progress toward practical goals. This approach suits people who want targeted, short-term gains and a clear plan to try between meetings.
Picking the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then choose methods together. He adapts strategies over time based on the person’s feedback and progress.
Because session formats are specified in the therapist’s practice, please confirm the exact options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use a quieter, less intrusive way of communicating. These practical benefits help many people keep momentum between sessions and apply skills in day-to-day situations.
