About Christopher
Christopher Jainandan is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (FL LMHC) with ten years of experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship and family concerns, and other everyday strains of life. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than theory-heavy explanations.
Chris uses straightforward conversation to help people name the patterns that keep causing pain. He draws on client-centered work to keep discussions focused on the person's concerns and values. He also uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-world experiments.
His background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Rollins College and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. He has worked across mental health and substance use settings before becoming licensed in Florida. That experience informs his work with mood disorders, trauma, and addiction-related difficulties.
In sessions he mixes practical skill-building with motivational interviewing when people are unsure about change. Mindfulness and dialectical behavior ideas appear when emotion regulation or distress tolerance are a priority. He helps people set clear, manageable next steps for home life, parenting demands, and relationship frictions.
People who are worn out by repeating conflicts or who have trouble following through on goals often find this approach useful. He accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Before booking, confirm which session formats are currently offered.
How sessions work
How Christopher applies approaches online
Christopher commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy when meeting people remotely. Client-centered work means conversations focus on the adult's priorities and values, with the therapist listening and reflecting to clarify concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, low mood, or relationship conflict.He also draws on dialectical behavior therapy ideas for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when strong feelings get in the way of daily life. Together these approaches aim to teach practical skills and small experiments that can be practiced between sessions. Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. He discusses goals, current challenges, and personal preferences, then recommends techniques and adjusts them as work proceeds.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Therapists can tailor session pace and exercises to how someone manages parenting, work breaks, or fluctuating schedules.
