About Christopher

Dr. Christopher Graham is an LCSW licensed in Oklahoma with 13 years of professional experience. He works with adults on relationship strain, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, parenting issues, and related stresses including anger, anxiety, and depression. He speaks English and focuses on clear, practical work rather than jargon.

In sessions he keeps language straightforward and direct. He helps people name what is happening, notice patterns that fuel anger or avoidance, and try small changes to see what helps. He uses a mix of approaches to match what the person needs in the moment.

His background includes methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). These approaches are used to address trauma, relationship difficulties, mood challenges, and stress reactions.

Dr. Graham takes a collaborative style. He asks questions, listens for what matters, and outlines practical steps a person can try between sessions. That can include skills for handling intense emotion, ways to improve communication, or exercises that shift unhelpful thinking.

Sessions are intended to be straightforward and goal-focused. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client is asked to use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on values and small steps that move a person toward what matters, which can ease reactive anger and avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and to test new responses when anger or stress arises. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets distressing memories and body-held reactions tied to trauma. In practice it helps reduce the intensity of traumatic memories that can fuel anger or emotional shutdown. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, background, and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is reviewed. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm what options are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work or caregiving, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when a full session is not needed. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, or EMDR for remote work so the focus stays on practical steps that fit everyday life.
