About Christopher

Christopher Keil is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. He works to create a straightforward, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly about what’s bothering them. Christopher emphasizes practical change and clear steps so people can feel less stuck and more able to move forward.

He holds a Master of Arts and practices as an LMHC and LPC in Utah. Christopher brings seven years of experience as a professional counselor and a longer history working in mental health overall. He has supported people coping with severe trauma and abuse, and those dealing with complicated grief, chronic pain and illness, or struggles with shame and self-worth.

Christopher uses approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Narrative Therapy, and Internal Family Systems as part of his work. He focuses on helping clients process painful memories, rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves, and understand internal parts that influence behavior. Sessions often emphasize clear goals and short-term steps toward those goals.

People who feel stuck after trying other options may find his style direct and results-focused. He aims to help clients make measurable progress in a few sessions when possible, while recognizing each person moves at their own pace.

Approaches that translate well to online work

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps people process distressing memories by pairing focused attention with guided bilateral stimulation. It is often used for trauma, abuse, and intense anxiety symptoms. Narrative Therapy helps clients rewrite the stories they tell about themselves by separating problems from a person’s identity and finding alternate, more helpful narratives. Internal Family Systems looks at inner parts or subpersonalities, helping people understand conflicting thoughts and feelings so they can act from a calmer center.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christopher will work with clients to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Confirm the session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific delivery options. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule regular appointments, save travel time, and fit short check-ins into busy days. It can also allow for quieter, less interruptive sessions or options that don’t require video when someone needs lower bandwidth or a shorter visit. Licensed professionals can adapt EMDR, Narrative Therapy, and Internal Family Systems techniques for remote sessions when appropriate, and Christopher will discuss what will work best for each person.
