About Chris
Chris (Christopher) McKillop is a licensed counselor with eleven years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, grief, and self esteem struggles. He also supports those facing trauma, parenting pressures, career questions, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and life transitions.
He aims to make sessions calm and straightforward. He creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through their challenges. The focus is on practical coping skills and clearer emotional understanding rather than jargon.
Chris uses a collaborative approach. He listens first, then works with each person to set goals and try methods that match their needs. Sessions emphasize skill-building, small experiments, and checking what works in everyday life.
His work draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness practices. He pairs these with client-centered listening and motivational interviewing to help people find direction and motivation.
Licensed as an LCPC and LCMHC, he brings experience from multiple states and now practices in California. He tries to help people build resilience, reduce overwhelm, and take steps toward more satisfying daily routines.
