About Christopher
Christopher Jainandan is a Florida licensed mental health counselor - FL LMHC - with ten years of experience in the mental health and substance abuse field. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, anger, relationship and family issues, trauma and grief, and related concerns such as sleep, eating, and self-esteem.
Christopher encourages direct talk about the problems that get in the way of daily life. He uses clear, practical conversation to explore what a person wants to change and which steps could help. He invites honesty about stigma and the barriers people face when seeking help for mental health or substance use concerns.
His background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Rollins College and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. He earned his Florida LMHC after several years working in varied mental health settings. Christopher has worked with issues that range from mood disorders and OCD to first responder concerns and coping after disasters.
In sessions he draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. That mix is used to help people notice patterns, test different ways of responding, and build practical skills for managing feelings and behavior.
People who contact him can expect straightforward conversation about goals and options. He aims to reduce stigma around getting help and to support clients as they try new approaches and track what changes over time.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and on the client’s goals. The therapist follows the person’s lead and uses questions to clarify what matters most and what to try first. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behavior patterns and offers doable techniques to change unhelpful reactions and manage anxiety, anger, or mood symptoms. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving how someone responds under stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Christopher will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and collaborate to build a practical plan. That may mean trying CBT exercises for a few weeks, adding mindfulness practices, or using DBT skills when emotions are intense. He treats the choice of methods as flexible and adjusts based on what helps the client make steady progress.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people also find that doing skills practice between meetings helps cement new ways of responding to anger or stress. The therapist and client plan how often to meet and what homework or between-session work will help achieve the stated goals.
