About Christopher

Christopher Simms is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 20 years of professional experience who works from a place of respect, sensitivity, and compassion. He specializes in helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, address LGBT-related concerns, and work through anger management. He adapts conversations and treatment plans to match each person's unique needs and life circumstances rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Recognizing that seeking change takes courage, he focuses on supporting and empowering individuals as they take steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life. His practice emphasizes collaboration - tailoring interventions and pacing to what makes sense for each person while offering steady guidance through difficult transitions and challenges.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Christopher draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most to them and take committed steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills for managing anxiety, mood, and behaviors. In addition, his client-centered approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and tailoring the conversation so each person feels heard and respected, which supports issues like relationship struggles, self-esteem, and recovery work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christopher works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods fit best with a person’s goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and he adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access care around work, family, and daily obligations. These options allow therapists to maintain continuity of care, offer timely check-ins, and adapt session formats to what works best for each individual, supporting consistent progress even when life is busy or in flux.
