About Christopher

Christopher Denzler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and parenting challenges. He also supports people coping with attention differences, eating or sleeping problems, and major life changes.

Christopher draws on practical, down-to-earth methods that focus on strengths. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-minded. He aims to help people notice what matters and take small steps that add up over time.

He trained at Liberty University, earning a master's degree in Licensed Professional Counseling in 2013. Over the last eight years he has worked in settings that include youth services and juvenile probation, and he has experience addressing trauma, domestic violence, and addiction. He also holds a Credentialed Sexually Abusive Youths Counselor (CSAYC) designation since 2017 and has worked with youths and their families on behavior and safety concerns.

In practice he combines several approaches rather than relying on a single method. He uses Cognitive Behavioral techniques, Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-based work, and client-centered methods. Art and play strategies are part of his toolbox when they fit the client's needs.

People who choose Christopher can expect a mix of supportive listening and hands-on skills. He helps clients set clear goals, learn coping tools, and work through relationship and family stress in bite-sized steps. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it is practical and skill-based for issues like depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and emotional bonds formed early in life to help improve current closeness and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions often mix techniques so the plan matches what the client needs that week rather than sticking to one rigid model.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or offering a way to continue care while between in-person appointments. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about which approaches and practical arrangements will work best for your schedule and needs.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
