About Chris
Chris Allen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 29 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, addiction concerns, grief, trauma, and related issues including ADHD and intimacy concerns.
He sees adults and young adults who are moving into new life phases and needing practical support. Sessions are straightforward. He listens, asks direct questions, and helps people notice patterns that get in the way of daily life.
His approach blends client-centered listening with mindfulness and narrative methods. He pays attention to the stories people tell about themselves and to recurring emotional reactions. That helps make sense of how past experiences continue to affect current choices and feelings.
Chris also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns, and solution-focused strategies to set clear, short-term goals. Conversations can shift between exploring deeper history and finding immediate steps to try between sessions. That mix aims to address both what keeps repeating and what can change now.
Practical concerns like parenting, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care issues, communication problems, and fatherhood topics are part of his work. He also supports people dealing with body image, codependency, dissociation, domestic violence aftermath, and coping with life changes.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they feel heard and can clarify their own goals. It helps when someone is unsure what they want or needs a calm space to sort feelings.Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention practices to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without judgment. This can be useful for anxiety, stress, and learning to step back from unhelpful habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to try methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan based on what helps and what does not. The process is shared and practical rather than fixed.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people use phone or video when one option suits their daily routine or bandwidth better. Licensed professionals can discuss which session rhythm and format will best support the goals you bring to therapy.
