About Christopher
Christopher Massey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on practical, person-centered therapy. He works with men and other adults around stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship and intimacy concerns. He also supports people coping with trauma, addictions, grief, and life changes.
He keeps sessions warm and interactive. He treats clients with respect, dignity, empathy, and compassion. He avoids stigmatizing labels and aims to meet people where they are in life.
His practice blends several approaches to fit each person’s needs. Christopher uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also draws on client-centered and attachment-based ideas to strengthen relationships and self-understanding.
He teaches practical coping skills and strategies. Those tools are aimed at improving daily functioning, mood, sleep, and stress management. Together with each client he sets concrete goals and builds a plan to reach them.
With five years of experience, Christopher has worked across many concerns, including parenting strain, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and chronic illness stress. He welcomes international clients and sees people who want coaching-style support as well as traditional therapy.
To begin, he asks people to reflect on what they want to change and then creates an individualized plan. The focus stays on achievable steps, steady progress, and supporting clients as they try new ways of coping.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships affect feelings and behavior. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and build more secure ways of relating.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and to develop healthier routines for mood, sleep, and behavior.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Christopher will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals and preferences. He starts by listening, then suggests techniques and adjusts them based on what helps most.
