About Christopher

Dr. Christopher Graham is an LCSW licensed in Oklahoma with 13 years of professional experience. He helps people facing relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, and parenting challenges. He aims to make beginning therapy feel doable and acknowledges the courage it takes to start.

In sessions he focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings. He encourages practical steps and honest conversation rather than jargon. People can expect direct, straightforward discussion about what matters to them.

Dr. Graham draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. He often uses techniques from cognitive behavioral work to identify patterns, and he brings in acceptance-oriented strategies to help people live by their values. He also uses attachment-based ideas when relationship history is relevant.

He has worked with concerns that range from stress and anxiety to grief and anger. He also supports those dealing with career shifts, self-esteem, and complex mood issues like bipolar and depression. Additional focus areas include body image, caregiver stress, and fatherhood issues.

Sessions are practical and goal-minded. Dr. Graham helps people set small steps between appointments. He invites questions about how therapy will fit into everyday life and what to expect as progress unfolds.

How chosen approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life changes and focuses on small, value-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with depression, anxiety, and mood issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try techniques that fit those needs. That collaborative process helps shape which methods are used and how sessions proceed.

Confirm available session formats before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins on a lunch break, or remove the need to travel to an office. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and skill practice to remote sessions so progress can continue even when meeting virtually.
