About Christopher

Christopher Denzler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with eight years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, and related issues. Christopher helps individuals talk through parenting strain, sleep and eating struggles, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and life changes.

He trained at Liberty University, earning a master's degree in Licensed Professional Counseling in 2013. Since then he has worked across settings that included Department of Child Services and juvenile probation. That work involved children, teens, adults, and people entangled in legal or child welfare systems. He has particular experience addressing trauma, domestic violence, addiction, and communication problems.

Christopher is a Credentialed Sexually Abusive Youths Counselor (CSAYC) since 2017 and has supported youths and their families with sexually maladaptive behaviors and safety planning. He draws on trauma-focused methods alongside behaviorally oriented approaches when the case calls for them. He uses practical tools to address symptoms and to support daily functioning.

His way of working blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Sessions often include skills practice, values-based goal-setting, and attention to relationships that matter to the client. Christopher also incorporates elements from Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused work, and art or play techniques when helpful.

People who choose him will find a clinician experienced with complex situations such as blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress, body image and intimacy-related difficulties, and coping after disasters. He offers clear, practical steps and focuses on what can change day to day.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarifying what matters so small actions line up with those values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleeping or eating issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. That might mean trying short-term, skill-focused CBT work, exploring attachment patterns, or using ACT strategies for values and acceptance.

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 week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets clients practice skills in real-life settings between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for video or phone conversations, and Christopher will discuss practical arrangements and what will help sessions work within a client's routine.
