About Chris
Chris Freeman-Clark is an Ohio LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker with 21 years of mental health experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. He also supports people managing addictions, clutter or hoarding, and those who grew up in dysfunctional families.
His approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on clear steps a person can try between meetings. He listens to what matters most and helps people set realistic goals for change.
Chris uses client-centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in each person’s priorities. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to develop different responses to triggers. Motivational Interviewing is part of his work when someone is ambivalent about change or needs help finding their own reasons to act.
Clients can expect a mix of talking and action. That might include skill practice, trying small behavioral experiments, and reviewing what went well. He pays attention to patterns that maintain anger and frustration and helps people try alternative ways of responding.
With two decades of practice, Chris brings experience from a range of community and clinical settings. He aims to be direct and respectful in sessions, helping people move from feeling stuck to making manageable changes they can keep working on.

Motivational Interviewing is applied when someone feels unsure about change and needs help finding their own reasons to act.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the first few sessions. He will work together with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps. The process is collaborative and practical, with attention to what actually fits a person’s life and preferences.
