About Christopher
Dr. Christopher Graham is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oklahoma with 13 years of professional experience. He focuses on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and parenting concerns. His background also includes work with stress, anxiety, grief, mood disorders, and caregiver strain.
Christopher keeps sessions straightforward. He invites people to talk about what is happening at home, how it affects daily life, and what small changes might help. Conversations aim to name painful patterns and try practical steps that can be used between meetings.
He uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide work in session. These include acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, and attachment-based perspectives to look at close relationships. EMDR and dialectical behavior tools are also part of his toolbox when they match a person's needs.
People often come to address parenting strain, difficulties with intimacy, or long-standing family of origin problems. He also supports those coping with grief, burnout, and complicated reactions after trauma. Sessions are meant to be frank and focused on the problems people bring.
To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment. That step helps identify priorities and gives a clear starting point for the first session. The subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based steps even when emotions are difficult. It is useful for stress, anxiety, parenting strain, and finding direction after life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and testing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It offers concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change repetitive patterns that affect relationships.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape trust, closeness, and conflict. It can help people understand intimacy struggles and repeated family dynamics.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review a person's concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This often means combining tools from different methods and adjusting based on what works in real life.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It also lets people keep continuity of care when schedules or locations change. Licensed professionals can discuss practical scheduling and format details during the initial matching and planning steps.
