About Chris
Chris Allen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 29 years of experience. He helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship troubles, parenting challenges, anger, and related concerns. He also works with those facing trauma, grief, addictions, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
His style centers on listening and practical conversation. Sessions focus on what the person brings each week and on small, doable changes. He uses client-centered practices alongside mindfulness and narrative work to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
Chris draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at long-running patterns that affect current behavior. He also applies solution-focused techniques when a person wants concrete steps for a specific problem. That mix lets him move between deeper reflection and short-term problem solving.
He has experience with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, blended family and fatherhood questions, and codependency. He also supports people dealing with body image, dissociation, control and commitment issues, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions aim to be straightforward. Conversations often include practical exercises, mindfulness practices, and story-based approaches to help people reframe their experiences. He encourages clients to set realistic goals and to test changes between meetings.
How Chris uses therapy approaches online
Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and decide practical next steps based on their own goals.Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept up in them. These practices can help manage anger spikes, anxiety, and stress in daily life.
Narrative work looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. Reframing those stories can change how someone responds to triggers and longstanding patterns.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. The intent is to find what helps in real life rather than stick to a single method.

It also allows the therapist and client to move between reflective work and practical exercises in a way that fits the client’s schedule.
