About Christopher

Christopher McKethan is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with five years of clinical experience. He works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and ADHD concerns. He offers straightforward, person-focused care and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable.

Christopher trained at the University of South Carolina and has practiced in several clinical settings since graduating in 2016. That variety gave him experience with many kinds of situations, including working in an intensive community mental health clinic that supports people with severe and persistent mental illness.

Background and approach

His approach adapts to where each person is in life. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client today and use practical strategies to reduce distress and increase functioning. He draws on methods that help with thoughts, emotions, and behavior so people can move toward values-based living.

Christopher also brings experience supporting people who are navigating identity, sexual satisfaction, body image, and the stresses of high-demand jobs. He has worked directly with individuals at different stages of life and has been part of team-based care for couples and families when appropriate. Clients can expect a conversational, interactive style.

The therapist emphasizes building trust, naming what's working, and trying small changes that make daily life easier. He encourages people to keep going when therapy feels hard and to set goals that matter to them.

Approaches that guide online work

Christopher uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values; this approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and life changes. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change patterns in thinking and behavior that keep problems going, which can be useful for stress, mood, and attention challenges. Client-Centered Therapy is part of his work too, providing a respectful, empathetic space where people set the pace and goals for their own growth.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with the client about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the focus based on what helps. The client’s preferences and everyday life guide which methods are used and how sessions are structured.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial expressions and body language, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or need less bandwidth, and messaging or chat can work for quick check-ins or ongoing support between calls. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions and to keep therapy consistent during life transitions.
