Christopher Andrews, LPC

Christopher Andrews is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. He brings 18 years of experience to his work and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and anger. He uses practical skills to help clients manage daily struggles and move toward clearer goals.

He began his journey in Southwest Atlanta and studied at Georgia State University. Over nearly two decades in behavioral health, he has supported people coping with post-traumatic stress and the effects of difficult life events. His approach centers on clear, direct problem solving and skill practice rather than abstract talk.

Sessions emphasize concrete tools clients can use between meetings. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are also part of his toolkit for managing intense emotions and reducing crisis moments.

Christopher keeps sessions focused and goal-oriented, with room for the client to guide priorities. He aims to make therapy feel relevant to everyday life and to help people build routines that support steady progress.

Outside of work he is married and a parent, and he values time outdoors and staying active. He encourages prospective clients to consider what changes matter most to them and to bring those priorities into the first session.

How CBT and DBT inform online care

Christopher commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new responses to those patterns. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and addictive behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to reduce intense reactions and improve daily coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts strategies as progress is made so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Session format options are not listed in his biography, so confirm current choices before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, help with consistent weekly check-ins, and reduce travel time. Different formats also let people pick what works best for their day - for example, a shorter phone check-in can fit into a lunch break while a longer session may allow more skills practice.
