About Christopher
Christopher Atkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 10 years of practice. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, grief, anger, and life changes. He also focuses on communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, social anxiety and workplace issues.
He approaches work in straightforward, practical terms. Christopher views clients as the expert on their own lives and looks for the strengths people already have. Sessions focus on clear steps and skills that can be used between meetings. He keeps the language plain and the goals concrete so progress is easy to see.
Christopher uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that keep problems going. He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set specific, short-term goals and build momentum toward them. Both approaches are aimed at reducing distress and improving daily functioning rather than long theoretical talks.
In sessions he will talk through what is working now and what feels stuck. He encourages small experiments and practical changes that can fit into a busy life. The focus is on what the person wants to change and steps they can take right away.
People who choose him should expect a direct, task-oriented style that centers real-world problems. He asks questions about what matters at work, home, and in relationships, and then helps outline next steps. To begin, viewers are asked to use the platform process to match and schedule a first session.

How Christopher Uses CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Christopher uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include identifying a pattern, testing a different thought or behavior, and tracking small changes over time. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set short-term, practical goals and to identify what steps move a person toward those goals.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about what they want to achieve and try methods that fit their goals. If an approach isn’t working, they will adjust it together rather than sticking with one method regardless of results.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week and to keep momentum between visits. They can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is helpful or reduce travel time so therapy fits alongside work and family responsibilities.
