About Christopher
Christopher Hohaia is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with six years of professional experience. He practices from Florida and lists work with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, family and parenting matters, grief, anger, self-esteem, career changes, bipolar concerns, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and first responder issues.
Christopher focuses on clear, direct conversation. He listens to what is most urgent and helps people set practical, manageable goals. Sessions move at a steady pace and emphasize real-world steps rather than abstract theory. He adjusts the way he talks and plans so it fits each person’s situation.
In meetings he works to identify patterns that keep problems repeating. He helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. For relationship or intimacy concerns he helps clients clarify boundaries, communication habits, and expectations. For grief, addiction, or trauma he offers structured support and pacing so difficult material can be addressed safely over time.
Christopher draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to fit the problem at hand. He pays attention to how work, parenting, or first responder roles affect stress and coping. Practical strategies, skills practice, and short-term goal-setting are common parts of his work.
People who contact him complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to begin. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and what they do
Christopher uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in accessible ways. One common approach helps people notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily mood. Another approach focuses on behavior change and practical skills practice to build routines, manage cravings, and reduce distress from strong emotions. A trauma-informed way of working emphasizes pacing and grounding so memories or painful experiences can be addressed without becoming overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will collaborate with each person to figure out which techniques fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That means adapting pace, choosing specific skills to practice, and checking in about what is or isn’t helping as therapy proceeds.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time from a work or parenting schedule. Licensed professionals can also use online meetings to maintain steady contact while you test new coping strategies in daily life.
