01About Chris
Chris (Christopher) McKillop helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and addictions. He supports those coping with trauma and grief, parenting pressures, career shifts, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, self-esteem struggles, and LGBTQ concerns. Chris holds ME LCPC and NC LCMHC and has eleven years of experience in the field.
He aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill building, and small changes that add up. He keeps language simple and uses exercises people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Chris works in a calm, nonjudgmental way. He listens first, then suggests options that fit each person's life. The tone is collaborative - clients help shape the focus and pace of work.
He uses a mix of approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness practices. Those tools are used to reduce unhelpful patterns, manage strong emotions, and increase day-to-day functioning. Over eleven years he has supported many people through major life changes and ongoing struggles.
The goal is practical improvement: clearer thinking, steadier mood, and habits that support long-term wellbeing. Chris aims to help people feel more in control and able to move forward.

04Online support
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems that come from avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and real-life practice. It often helps with anxiety, mood problems, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can support emotion regulation and coping.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Chris will discuss options and help decide what fits best based on a person's goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That decision is made together and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is effective for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, homework support, or quick coping tools between meetings. These options make it easier to fit care into busy routines and different schedules.
