About Chris
Chris Allen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 29 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, and self-esteem difficulties. He also lists areas such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related issues.
His approach is conversational and person-focused. Sessions center on what the person brings in the moment. He uses listening, questions, and reflection to help people clarify their priorities and next steps. Many clients come with parenting or family-related worries, and he helps them sort through those day-to-day strains.
Chris draws on client-centered methods alongside mindfulness and narrative ideas to help people notice patterns and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. He also uses psychodynamic concepts and solution-focused techniques to help identify recurring themes and small practical changes. Sessions tend to mix reflection about past patterns with concrete actions for the present.
He has worked extensively with young adults moving into the next life phase and with adults in their 30s through 50s. He lists additional focus areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues, blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, and body image. These topics often come up in conversations about parenting and family roles.
People who choose him can expect clear, direct conversation about what is bothering them. He helps set goals, track progress, and adjust plans as needed. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the person brings. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow the client’s lead, clarify priorities, and support decision-making for family or parenting concerns.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices and skills to reduce reactivity and manage stress. Online work can include guided exercises and short in-session practices to help with anxiety, anger, or compassion fatigue.
Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from problem stories and consider alternative narratives. In an online setting, narrative work usually involves discussing life events, noticing recurring themes, and naming different possibilities for action and identity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adjust methods as therapy progresses. That collaboration helps keep sessions practical and relevant.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can be useful for fitting therapy into a busy life, allowing shorter check-ins, saving travel time, or choosing a time that fits a work or parenting schedule. Licensed professionals can adapt sessions to focus on immediate problem-solving or deeper pattern work depending on what the person needs.
