Christopher Massey, LCSW

Christopher Massey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. He takes a warm, interactive approach and aims to treat people with respect and empathy. Christopher emphasizes practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more hopeful. He draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to build trust and understand how relationships shape current struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with more useful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques and mindfulness practices are added when emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills are needed. Christopher works with a wide range of concerns, including relationship trouble, parenting strain, grief, addictions, sleeping and eating issues, anger, career stress, and coping with life changes. He has also supported people with trauma, abuse, neglect, ADHD, and complex medical or caregiving stressors. His practice includes attention to attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, and other relational issues. Sessions focus on clear goals chosen by the person seeking help. Christopher will help create a plan, teach coping skills, and practice strategies during appointments so people can use them in daily life. Progress is approached step by step, with adjustments made as needed. With five years of clinical experience, Christopher offers a supportive, nonjudgmental environment for people to address hard problems. He welcomes conversations about what someone hopes to change and how therapy might fit into their life.

How attachment and CBT shape online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships influence feelings and behavior. In practice this means talking about patterns in close relationships and trying new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, behaviors, and moods and teaches concrete skills to rethink unhelpful thinking and test new actions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the person sets priorities. Christopher works with clients to identify goals and then uses these approaches to build practical steps toward those goals. He partners with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and adjusts the plan as therapy unfolds. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as arranging appointments around work or caregiving responsibilities. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule, and reduce travel time so skills can be practiced sooner after sessions.
