About Christopher
Christopher Hohaia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with six years of professional experience. He practices in Florida and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, depression, addictions, anger, and related life issues. Christopher also focuses on first responder issues and supports clients navigating grief, parenting strain, career stress, and self-esteem struggles.
He frames sessions as a practical conversation. Christopher adapts talk and problem-solving to the situation. He listens for patterns that keep causing pain or repeated conflict. Together with clients he identifies small, realistic changes to try between sessions.
His background includes clinical work with trauma and relationship concerns. Christopher brings six years of hands-on experience across these areas. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and aims to make them straightforward and usable in day-to-day life.
In session he treats people with respect and sensitivity. Christopher asks questions and offers feedback rather than giving long lectures. He and the client map out goals and a simple plan to track progress over time.
If someone prefers to move from crisis to steadier coping, he helps build concrete skills for managing anger, stress, and strong emotions. Christopher encourages practical steps clients can test in real situations and then adjust as needed.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and what to expect
Christopher uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach is cognitive-based work that helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with clearer, more useful thinking. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and anger when thoughts intensify emotions.Another approach focuses on skills training for emotion regulation and behavior change. That involves learning specific strategies to calm intense feelings, handle conflict, and test new ways of responding in daily situations. It can help with relationship tensions and repeated anger responses.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Christopher works with clients to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying a single method. Together they review what’s working and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy day and reducing travel time. If you plan to try online work, confirm which session formats are offered before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make brief check-ins easier, allow for sessions during a lunch break, or remove the need to commute to appointments.
