About Christopher

Christopher Denzler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults on problems such as anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strain, parenting stress, and family of origin concerns. He also addresses grief, anger, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, and coping with major life changes.

He learned counseling at Liberty University, where he earned a master’s degree in Licensed Professional Counseling. His background includes work with people involved with juvenile probation and child welfare systems. He has experience supporting situations that involve trauma and abuse, communication problems, and personality issues.

In sessions he draws on a few core therapies to help people make practical changes. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice patterns and try different behaviors. He also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches to talk about how early family roles affect current relationships.

People can expect a mix of talking, skills practice, and problem-solving. He has worked with parents on parenting stress and blended family issues, and with people navigating adoption, abandonment, and caregiver strain. He also has clinical experience addressing substance use and compassion fatigue.

Christopher adapts methods to the person in front of him rather than following one set method. He has used Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and other cognitive-behavioral approaches when they fit the goals. If you want to focus on family of origin patterns, he can help identify repeating roles and choices that stem from childhood.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck when family expectations still influence choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing thought and behavior patterns through practical exercises and homework. It is often used for depression, worry, sleep and eating problems, and managing mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked before, and then recommend steps to try. That collaborative process can involve mixing approaches until something fits the client’s needs and daily life demands.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare, or travel. They can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick follow-up is needed, or avoid the need to be on camera if that feels difficult. Ask about available formats when you schedule so sessions match your routine and goals.
