About Christopher

Christopher Pieper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleeping and eating problems, and self-esteem issues. He also supports people coping with life changes, career strain, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Pieper begins by listening to how these patterns show up day to day. He uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels stuck and what small changes could make life easier. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear goals rather than jargon or vague promises.

His background includes work across trauma, mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder, and issues connected to attachment and abandonment. That experience informs how he helps people handle recurring patterns, including codependency and difficulty setting boundaries.

Pieper draws from several therapeutic approaches to guide work in session. He uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thinking. He brings in skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Attachment-based ideas help explore relational patterns that repeat across relationships.

Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. He often blends focused skill practice with time to reflect on personal history and relationship patterns. Clients are invited to try new responses in small steps and notice what changes between sessions.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that match personal values. This helps when anxiety, avoidance, or doubts keep someone from acting on what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It provides practical exercises to test and change thoughts that drive stress or low mood.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit current concerns and goals. That means checking in about what helps, trying techniques in-session, and adjusting as needed.

Session format details aren’t specified in the profile, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or remove commuting time so work or family responsibilities are easier to manage. Therapists often adapt exercises, worksheets, and skill practice to work well through remote appointments, and the practical focus of CBT and ACT translates readily to that setting.
