Christopher Hohaia, LCSW

Christopher Hohaia is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and relationship or intimacy struggles. He also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strain, career stress, and issues related to self-esteem and anger. Christopher aims to treat each person with sensitivity and respect while tailoring conversations and plans to their needs.

He brings six years of professional experience to his work and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps clients can use between meetings. Christopher emphasizes collaboration - bringing the client’s priorities into each plan rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

People often come to him feeling stuck or unsure how to begin a change. He frames therapy as a series of manageable steps and supports clients as they try new coping skills. He also addresses stressors specific to first responders when relevant.

Christopher adapts the pace and focus based on what the client needs that week. He balances listening with gentle guidance and straightforward suggestions that aim to help people make noticeable shifts in day-to-day life.

If you are ready to explore options for managing emotions, changing behaviors around substance use, or repairing important relationships, he offers a collaborative environment to do that work.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Christopher works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and clear goals. One common approach used in this kind of work teaches people to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice alternative responses; it helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Another useful method emphasizes gradual exposure to feared situations and building tolerance to uncomfortable feelings, which can support recovery from trauma and reduce avoidance behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, personal history, and how they prefer to work. He adjusts methods over time based on progress and feedback so clients stay in control of the pace and focus.

If you plan to pursue therapy online, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-in meetings when needed. It also lets people continue therapy while managing work, family, or relocation without making major life changes.
