About Christopher
Christopher Santos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with three years of clinical experience. He works with adults on common difficulties like stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and motivation concerns. He also addresses life transitions and issues around addiction, relationships, grief, and career changes.
His style emphasizes direct conversation and practical skills. Sessions include clear goals, concrete strategies, and space to talk through what’s happening day to day. Christopher uses therapy methods that focus on how thoughts and feelings connect to behavior and on strengthening emotional awareness.
He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build new habits. He pairs that with client-centered practices that prioritize listening and the client’s perspective. Emotionally-focused ideas are used when relationships or intense feelings are central to the problem.
Mindfulness tools and motivational interviewing also show up in sessions when people need help staying present or finding internal reasons to change. These methods are practical and short-term focused when that fits someone’s needs. Christopher aims to help people handle their anger so it causes less fallout at work and at home.
People who choose him can expect straightforward planning, measurable steps, and check-ins on progress. He encourages small experiments between sessions, like behavior changes or communication tests, and reviews what worked and what didn’t. This keeps therapy focused and useful.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Christopher commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy online. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing new behaviors to reduce anger and anxiety. Client-centered work emphasizes open listening and using the client's own goals to guide each session.He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship patterns or intense feelings are central. EFT helps people identify core emotions and the interaction patterns that keep conflicts repeating, which can reduce reactive anger when addressed directly.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. That can mean starting with skills-based CBT, then adding mindfulness or emotion-focused habits as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it simpler to practice new communication or breathing techniques between meetings and then discuss how they went in the next session.
