More about Christopher
- 37 years' experience
- Male
- LCSW
I'm a social worker in Ellettsville Indiana, just outside Bloomington. I've worked in Southern Indiana for over 37 years. I was a college counselor at Indiana University for 20 years. Now I'm in private practice. My background is in cognitive behavioral therapy and I use a here and now approach. I believe that nothing in therapy should be a mystery so you can see what we are doing, as we do it. I primarily work with anxiety and depression now but I have experience in much more, ranging from addictions, child and family therapy, chronic mental illness, crisis intervention, geriatrics, and medical social work. In my work in college counseling I gained a lot of experience working with international people from the Far East, India, the Middle East, and Latin America. I'm a life long Hoosier (my family has been here since Thomas Jefferson was president) so I don't rush things. I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
