Christopher Mabrey , LMHC

Christopher Mabrey is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Indiana with more than 10 years of experience as a school counselor and mental health therapist. He has supported people facing a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, career difficulties, OCD, ADHD, and the effects of physical trauma or emotional abuse.

His therapeutic style is interactive and collaborative, oriented toward helping clients move toward healthier, more fulfilling lives. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions and avoids stigmatizing labels, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s unique needs. He draws on cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, eclectic, and rational-emotive approaches to shape interventions that fit the client rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model.

Christopher focuses on empowering clients to build practical skills, strengthen relationships, and clarify life goals. He encourages the courage required to seek change and supports people through the steps that follow. He looks forward to working with clients who are ready to pursue growth and greater well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Christopher uses a mix of approaches to guide online work, beginning with Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the client's perspective drives the pace and goals of treatment. This approach supports personal growth, self-esteem, and exploration of life purpose.

He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that contribute to addictions or impulsivity.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is another tool he employs for relationship and intimacy-related concerns. EFT helps partners and families recognize emotional patterns, improve communication, and rebuild connection.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of therapy, and Christopher collaborates with each client to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He views treatment as a team effort where feedback and adjustment guide the process.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity amid life changes, and connect with licensed professionals from different locations.
