Dr. Christopher Graham, LCSW

Dr. Christopher Graham is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Oklahoma with 13 years of professional experience. He helps people facing relationship strain, trauma, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and other life stresses. He aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful.

He creates an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Sessions focus on clear, direct conversation about what is causing distress now and what practical steps might help. He mixes talking and skill-building so people leave with concrete ways to cope.

Dr. Graham uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. He adapts those methods to the person in front of him rather than following a single formula.

People come for many reasons - anxiety, depression, grief, anger, caregiving strain, or help navigating big life changes. He also supports concerns such as body image, communication problems, and issues tied to family of origin.

Sessions aim to balance understanding and action. He listens for patterns that maintain pain and works with each person to try small changes. Many clients leave feeling more able to manage daily stresses and make clearer choices.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and gently committing to actions that match personal values. Online sessions can use ACT to clarify what matters most and build small habits that move a person toward those values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed with caregivers and how those patterns affect current relationships; in an online format this work often centers on naming interaction patterns and practicing new ways of relating during conversations with the therapist. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tests beliefs through practical exercises and experiments that can be assigned between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. That plan can change as progress is made and new information comes up.

The original profile does not specify session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use tools like worksheets and in-the-moment exercises during or between sessions, which supports skill practice and steady progress.
