Christopher Chaney, LPCC, is a Kentucky-based therapist with 27 years of experience supporting adults through common but painful problems. He helps people handle depression, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, work stress, and struggles with self-esteem and identity. His manner is straightforward and practical, aimed at people who want clear steps they can try between sessions.

He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. He also practices client-centered listening that lets people set the pace. Solution-focused work helps clients find small, workable changes that add up over time.

Chaney offers sessions in formats that fit different needs, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. He aims to be accessible and flexible so people can connect when life gets hard. He works from Kentucky and communicates in English.

Over nearly three decades he has supported people facing trauma, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, mood disorders, and wide-ranging family and caregiver stresses. He describes work with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, aging and geriatric questions, and caregiver strain.

In sessions he pays attention to practical goals like better communication, reduced anger, and clearer life purpose. He helps people manage compassion fatigue, boredom or isolation, and career decisions. His focus is on helping clients make steady, realistic progress.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client’s pace. This helps when someone needs to feel heard before making changes and is useful for relationship or self-esteem concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, OCD patterns, and coping with life changes.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps and on what already works. It suits people who want brief, goal-oriented work that builds momentum quickly.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation can change over time as goals shift.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging gives practical flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and into different comfort levels.
