About Christopher
Christopher Chaney is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Kentucky with 27 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, family conflict, relationship struggles, parenting strain, and other life changes. He also supports people dealing with mood disorders, ADHD, codependency, and challenges tied to caregiving or adoption and foster care.
He focuses on being an accessible option for people seeking mental health help. Christopher uses live chat as his primary session format, believing it can lower the barrier to starting therapy and make it easier for someone new to the process to talk through problems. He coordinates care with community psychiatrists when needed and can help people find psychiatric care that works with their insurance.
In sessions he leans toward solution-focused work and cognitive behavioral strategies. That means he will help a person spot patterns that keep problems going and test small, practical changes. He encourages clients to discover answers that fit their daily life rather than only talking about difficulties.
People who prefer not to use voice or video may find the live chat format helpful for keeping conversations focused and short when necessary. He can adapt the pace of work and schedule to respond when someone is having a tougher period.
Christopher has worked with trauma, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, psychosis, and aging-related issues across his career. He aims to coordinate with other professionals involved in care so people can get the full support they need.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what a person says so they feel heard and can explore what matters most. It helps when someone needs to make sense of feelings about relationships, grief, or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It is practical for anxiety, mood problems, obsessive thoughts, and learning small behavioral changes that reduce distress.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes finding concrete steps that move a person forward. Rather than dwelling on problems, sessions aim to identify what works and build on successes, which can be useful for stress, codependency patterns, and coping with caregiving strain.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time based on what helps in real life.
He offers live chat sessions as his primary online format. Live chat can make it easier to begin therapy for people who prefer not to use voice or video, and it can fit into a shorter break or a quieter moment during the day. If you need other session options, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what will be available.
