About Chris
Chris Freeman-Clark is an independently licensed clinical social worker (LISW) in Ohio with 21 years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting issues, depression, anger, addictions, and family of origin issues. He also addresses hoarding, grief, intimacy-related problems, ADHD, and life transitions.
Chris focuses on helping people who grew up in difficult family systems and who now notice those patterns affecting their adult lives. Sessions tend to be straightforward conversations about current struggles, recurring patterns, and practical steps forward. He listens for how family roles and expectations still influence choices today.
In practice he uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is ready to make a change but feels unsure where to start.
His experience includes supporting people who live with clutter or hoarding behaviors and adults who want help with parenting or fatherhood issues. He talks through coping strategies for stress, grief, and anger and works on communication and commitment concerns.
Chris describes his work as respectful and responsive. He helps people set realistic goals, try small behavioral changes, and track what works. Those interested in beginning can confirm session options and scheduling details before booking.
How Chris Uses Practical Approaches in Online Sessions
Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist follows the person's concerns and priorities. Sessions focus on what the client wants to work on and build from the client's own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and tests small changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful reactions. Motivational Interviewing is a brief, goal-focused way to help people clarify their reasons for change and find their own motivation. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Chris will discuss the different methods and collaborate with the client to choose what fits their goals and preferences. That joint decision can shift over time as needs change. Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking so you know how meetings will be held. Online meetings can make it simpler to check in between appointments or schedule a shorter session during a work break, depending on the available formats.Areas of expertise
