About Chris
Chris Freeman-Clark is an independently licensed social worker with more than 21 years in mental health care. He provides straightforward support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, and life transitions. He aims to meet clients where they are and help them move toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.
Chris uses plain conversation and practical steps to help people who feel stuck. He often works with adults who grew up in difficult family situations, those struggling with hoarding or clutter, and people ready to make a change but unsure how to begin.
Background and approach
He focuses on building respect, sensitivity, and steady support in sessions. His approach mixes client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. That means he listens first, helps identify patterns that get in the way, and supports realistic, step-by-step change.
Sessions are focused on skills you can use between meetings and on small wins that add up. Clients can expect an emphasis on practical problem solving and clearer decision making. Chris helps people work through grief, addiction-related concerns, intimacy issues, career stress, ADHD-related challenges, and reactions to trauma.
He also supports those facing blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, and communication problems. Based in Ohio, Chris holds the LISW credential, which signals licensed independent social work practice. He aims to empower clients rather than fix them, helping each person find the next right step toward a more satisfying life.

Approaches that fit online work
Client-centered therapy starts with listening and understanding what matters most to the person. It helps build trust and shapes goals around the client’s priorities, which works well in virtual conversations. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical strategies. It is useful for anxiety, anger, depression, and many daily struggles because it gives concrete tools to practice between sessions. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change and to move past ambivalence. It can help with addictions, readiness for change, and sticking to new habits.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Chris will listen to your needs and try approaches that match your goals and preferences. Together you will adjust pace and tools so the plan fits your situation and feels manageable.
Online formats offer flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or schedule makes video difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, step-by-step support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while still focusing on practical progress.
