More about Christopher
- 25 years' experience

- LISW
I am a therapist licensed in Ohio with over 25 years of experience working as a counselor. I have worked with diverse range of clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, divorce, parenting problems, career challenges, autism, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced separation from their families with a history of neglect, sexual abuse, physical trauma, and emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive and always with a touch of humor. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I also believe directness to show respect for your intelligence and time. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, experiential, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy, and reality therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards finding meaningful change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Excellent seasoned therapist
Chris is an amazing listener and always helps me to have a better understanding of my own emotions.
Very informative and understanding. Awesome person to work with
One session in and I feel extremely comfortable discussing my mental health with him. Very personable and he listens so well.
The best
Love Chris!
Chris has restored my faith in therapy. I am so appreciative of his insight and recommendations. It’s really helped me.
Christopher Cuda really listens to me, well enough to see things that I haven't yet seen in myself. I so appreciate his many years of experience with neurodivergent clients. As someone late diagnosed, it's been fascinating having his help learning how I actually work and how to take better care of myself at 53 years old! I appreciate that his advice is always practical and geared towards finding workable solutions to life's difficulties. It's no exaggeration at all to say that working with him has been life-changing.
Chris is a wonderful therapist - I highly recommend him!
I absolutely love this service. I have grown so much through therapy. My therapist is a perfect fit for me and I always feel so much better after our sessions
Thanks for everything I'll be back. Helped me through a rough spot
Christopher has done a lot with getting me to recognize my self worth and point out clearly the issues with my relationship and thinking. He has a way of showing things that that should be obvious that I am ignoring. Even when I feel like he is telling me I made a mistake I never feel bad or attacked. I would hope everyone has a therapist like him.
Very highly recommend!!
Christopher provided expertise and perspective that matched what I was looking for exactly. Thank you!
Excellent experience overall so far. I took a gap to save sessions (EAP was why) and he welcomed me back after a great gap in services. He understands my presenting concerns and assists me in addressing and dealing with my mental health struggles. He is validating and supportive, and shares his experiences in a way that is helpful and useful. In just a few sessions, I have reflect, learned, and understood so much about myself and what my needs are and what my worth is. I would highly recommend Christopher to anyone.
Chris's support has been invaluable, a literal life saver. I had a mental breakdown and he was able to support me gently though firmly, setting me back on track. He was professional though friendly, an excellent listener and sounding board, offering precious insights into my reactions, triggers, and emotions. Thanks to his honesty and transparency, I always felt safe. Within seven months I'm back to healthy. He helped me figured out the source of my discomfort and address/remove them from my life. I will be forever grateful!
Wonderful therapist, has been life changing for me
Extremely happy with my therapist he and I are a very good fit and I feel as if I am really finally getting the help that I need
Chris is really helpful and willing to listen to anything I have to say. I have made a lot of progress over 4 short weeks.
He is always thoughtful in his responses and guidance. Often helps me formulate what I can’t seem to have expressed to anyone prior. Thankful to have him as my counselor.
Chris has a lot of experience backing him.
Christopher has been very kind and insightful in our sessions. He has been very helpful.
Christopher is a very knowledgeable and experienced therapist who is honest, sympathetic and very helpful. After a few sessions I already have seen great improvement in my mental well being. I feel very lucky to have found such a great therapist
Chris is a great listener and very insightful. I highly recommend him.
