Dr. Christopher Graham

Dr. Christopher Graham is an Oklahoma licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience. He focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and parenting matters. He aims to make the first step into therapy feel achievable and affirms the courage it takes to begin. In sessions he works to create an open atmosphere where people can talk about thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. He uses straightforward conversation and practical tools so people can make changes that matter in daily life. He listens for what matters most to each person and tailors the work to those priorities. Dr. Graham draws on several evidence-based approaches to guide therapy. He may use cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. He also brings attachment-focused ideas to understand how early relationships shape current connection and trust. For those recovering from overwhelming events, he integrates methods used for processing trauma. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take committed actions toward them. Sessions aim to balance skill-building with space to process emotions. People often come to him with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, or challenges around self-esteem and career. He also supports those dealing with mood disorders, caregiver strain, body image concerns, and family-of-origin issues. If you are unsure whether his approach fits your needs, he encourages a brief conversation to clarify next steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counseling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people get clear about what matters to them and take small, committed steps toward those values. It focuses on practical actions and learning to live with difficult thoughts without letting them control behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful patterns. It often includes simple exercises people can practice between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns affect current connection and trust and helps people develop new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist treats this as a collaborative process and will help figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift as the work progresses and new needs emerge.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in real-life settings between meetings, which can speed up applying new habits. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work for remote sessions so the same hands-on exercises and practical coaching happen even when meeting online.
