Christopher Santos, LPC

Christopher Santos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with three years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and motivation challenges. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a calm, straightforward approach to get conversations started and keep them practical.

Christopher shapes each session around the person in the room. He listens first and then works together with clients to set clear, manageable goals. Sessions focus on real-life skills and steps people can try between meetings to make steady progress.

He uses a mix of methods including client-centered listening, cognitive techniques to shift thinking patterns, emotionally-focused tools to name and work with feelings, mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity, and motivational interviewing to build drive for change. These approaches are chosen to match each person’s needs rather than applied the same way to everyone.

Christopher has supported people through relationship stress, grief, parenting strain, addiction concerns, career challenges, and major life transitions. He aims to create a steady, practical space where clients can talk through difficult moments and try new ways of coping.

Taking the first step can feel hard. Christopher offers a respectful, goal-oriented style designed to help people take those first steps and move toward clearer thinking and healthier habits.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. It helps people feel heard and supports them in finding their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work with strong emotions so they respond to problems with more clarity and connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and new concerns come up.

The source profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when people need them. Licensed professionals use these approaches to support people working through anxiety, grief, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and life transitions in ways that aim to be practical and action oriented.
