About Christopher
Christopher Mabrey is a licensed mental health counselor in Indiana with ten years of experience. He has worked as a school counselor and as a mental health therapist, helping people navigate difficult moments and make practical changes.

He helps people with anxiety and depression, and with stress that affects daily life. He also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and challenges around intimacy and relationships.
Background and approach
Parenting stress, career concerns, and issues with self-esteem are also areas he addresses. Christopher uses straightforward, interactive sessions. He blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral strategies and emotionally-focused work.
Mindfulness and narrative techniques are brought in when they match a person's situation. Sessions aim to identify patterns that get in the way, try small changes, and build new ways of coping. He talks through practical steps and homework when that is helpful.
Conversations are guided by respect, sensitivity, and a nonjudgmental approach. People who reach out can expect a calm, collaborative process that focuses on real problems and real options. Christopher frames goals around what matters to the individual and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Christopher commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on open listening and building a trusting relationship so people can explore their goals and values. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive space to talk through life decisions and emotional concerns.He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that looks at thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, anger, or depression. CBT breaks problems into smaller steps, teaches coping skills, and often includes simple exercises to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christopher will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. That can mean trying a few techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, notes between sessions, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into varied routines and life demands.
