About Chris
Chris Allen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 29 years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, codependency, trauma and related issues. He also supports people facing grief, intimacy concerns, self-esteem problems, and life transitions.
Chris uses a conversational, person-centered approach. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and on talking through the patterns that keep someone stuck. He listens for how coping habits, family history, or past losses shape current choices and relationships.
His work draws on client-centered methods alongside psychodynamic thinking and narrative techniques. That means attention to current goals while also noticing stories people tell about themselves. Mindfulness and solution-focused tools are used when they fit the situation and goals.
Expect collaborative sessions where challenges are named plainly and small experiments are suggested between meetings. Chris pays attention to relationship patterns such as people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or living around someone else’s moods or substance use. He encourages practical boundary work and clearer communication skills.
Many people come for short-term coaching around a specific problem or for longer work on deeper patterns. He has experience supporting young adults and people in their 30s through 50s as they navigate life changes and family responsibilities.
How sessions work
Approaches to explore online and how they work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and helps people clarify what matters most, which can help with boundary setting, people-pleasing, and relationship stress.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity. It can help when anxiety, strong emotions, or cravings make it hard to think clearly or respond differently in high-stress moments.
Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. Rewriting those stories can change how someone sees choices and options after patterns of caretaking or avoidance.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past attempts, and preferences, then recommend starting steps. That decision is made together and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
The original profile does not list specific session formats. Please confirm which online session options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and let people join from quieter surroundings or while on a break at work. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and narrative work to online meetings so clients can keep making progress without changing their daily routines.
