About Christopher
Christopher Jainandan introduces himself with a simple aim: to make it easier for people to talk about what’s bothering them. He is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida with ten years of experience in the mental health and substance use field. He wants therapy to feel practical and respectful, not shaming or overwhelming.
Christopher helps people facing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and substance concerns. He also works with issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family stress, ADHD, and problems with sleep or eating.
Background and approach
He aims to reduce the stigma around seeking help and to offer straightforward support. In sessions he uses down-to-earth conversation and well-known therapy methods. He draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s pace.
He also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful patterns and dialectical strategies to teach coping and emotion skills. Christopher trained in psychology at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida and completed a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Capella University. He has worked across settings in the mental health and substance abuse field before licensure.
He accepts international clients and offers sessions in English. Many people choose him because he focuses on practical steps and clear goals. He encourages new clients to think about what they want from therapy and to move at a comfortable pace.
How his approach fits online therapy
Christopher combines client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to make online sessions practical and focused. Client-centered work means the therapist follows the client’s lead, listens closely, and adapts to what matters most to the person. This helps when someone needs space to talk through what feels urgent. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Christopher will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together the client and therapist try different strategies and decide which mix of techniques fits best for the client’s situation and aims.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, parenting, or travel and support continued progress between meetings.
