About Christopher Massey

Christopher Massey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of experience providing psychotherapy. He has supported people facing a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, addictions, and other mental health diagnoses, as well as survivors of trauma, abuse, and neglect.

His approach is warm and interactive, built on a foundation of respect, dignity, empathy, and compassion. He avoids stigmatizing labels and emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental working relationship. Clinical methods he integrates include cognitive-behavioral techniques, person-centered care that emphasizes the client's perspective, strength-based strategies, and solution-focused work to identify practical next steps.

Christopher meets individuals where they are and partners with them to clarify the changes they want to see. From that starting point he helps develop an individualized treatment plan with goals that matter to the client, teaches coping skills and practical strategies for managing symptoms, and provides encouragement throughout the process. He views seeking help as an act of courage and aims to support and empower people as they work toward a more fulfilling life.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Christopher holds clinical training and licensure to provide mental health services, and he applies that training to help clients build skills, process difficult experiences, and move toward their personal goals.
