Christopher Santos, LPC

Christopher Santos is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with three years of professional experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and the demands of parenting and family life.

He focuses on practical conversations and clear goals. Sessions are organized around what a person needs now - from coping with grief or major life change to managing cravings and addiction-related concerns. Christopher uses methods that help people notice patterns and try small changes between meetings.

His approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation grounded in the client's perspective. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and test unhelpful thoughts, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how feelings affect relationships and closeness. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing appear in work around motivation and stress management.

In sessions he listens for what is getting in the way of daily life at home. He helps people break problems into manageable steps. That might mean rehearsing a hard conversation, building a simple coping plan, or tracking what increases or decreases anxiety.

People who reach out can expect straightforward talk about goals and next steps. Christopher explains methods in plain language and checks in often about how the work is going. He asks people to try concrete exercises between meetings so progress can be noticed and adjusted.
