About Christopher

Dr. Christopher Graham is an LCSW licensed in Oklahoma with 13 years of professional experience. He helps people address relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and parenting challenges. He also supports work on stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and self-esteem.

He keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He listens to what matters most and helps people name the patterns that cause pain. Conversations focus on what someone wants to change and on small, concrete steps to try between sessions.

Dr. Graham uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and EMDR among other approaches. He explains tools clearly and practices them together in-session so people can use them in day-to-day life. The work often includes looking at how past attachment experiences shape current relationships.

People who face big life transitions, chronic stress, or complicated grief can find a focused plan here. He also supports those managing mood challenges and compassion fatigue related to caregiving or demanding work.

To begin, Dr. Graham asks about goals and what has been tried already. He helps set short-term targets and checks progress each session. The emphasis is on practical strategies and steady forward movement rather than long lists of tasks.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Dr. Graham often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice uncomfortable thoughts and values they want to act on. ACT focuses on accepting feelings while committing to meaningful actions, which can help with anxiety and stress. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice new behaviors. CBT gives clear skills for managing worry, improving communication, and changing patterns that feed social unease. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose or combine methods based on goals, preferences, and what seems to help in early sessions. That collaborative process guides how techniques are introduced and practiced. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what will be offered. Practical benefits of online work often include fitting sessions around work or family commitments, shorter check-ins by phone when that is needed, and fewer travel demands. Dr. Graham will discuss what format makes sense and how to structure sessions so they fit into everyday life without adding extra strain.
