A safe place to begin

Reaching out isn't weakness. It's the first honest step.

Most people arrive carrying something they've been managing alone for a long time. You don't need the right words, a diagnosis, or a plan. You only need a place where it's safe to say the true thing out loud.

From the first conversation, therapy here is collaborative and judgment-free. We move at your pace. I'll listen closely, ask careful questions, and help you understand what keeps repeating — then we build something steadier together.

“I believe every person already carries inner wisdom and the capacity to change. My role is to help you reconnect with those strengths.”

Christopher E. Henderson, MA, LCMHC

Meet Christopher

A steady person to think alongside.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor providing virtual therapy for adults and couples in Vermont and New Hampshire. I help people struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and the deeper patterns that keep them stuck — so they can feel calmer, more confident, and more like themselves again.

My approach is integrative, collaborative, and strength-based. I draw from evidence-based methods including CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, DBT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and ACT, always tailored to you. I believe every person already carries inner wisdom and the capacity to change. My role is to help you reconnect with those strengths, break free from old patterns, and move toward a life that feels more peaceful and meaningful.

I've worked in the mental health field for many years — in crisis intervention, life skills coaching, clinical case management, agency settings, and private practice. I've provided virtual therapy since 2018 and moved to a full-time online practice in 2021. Sessions are confidential, judgment-free, and built around you.

I live in the mountains of central Vermont. Outside of work, you'll usually find me outdoors with my family, writing, drawing, meditating, or practicing martial arts.

Therapeutic approach

One method rarely fits a whole person.

Rather than fitting you into a single model, we work with whatever actually helps — present-oriented, strength-based, and decided together as we go.

  • CBT

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

    Noticing the thoughts behind the feeling, and practicing new ways of responding.

  • EMDR

    Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing

    Helping the nervous system finish processing what it never got to put down.

  • DBT

    Dialectical Behavior Therapy

    Concrete skills for intense emotion, distress tolerance, and steadier relationships.

  • ACT

    Acceptance & Commitment Therapy

    Making room for difficult feelings while moving toward what matters to you.

  • Mindfulness

    Mindfulness-Based Practice

    Coming back to the present moment with less judgment and more choice.

  • SFBT

    Solution-Focused Brief Therapy

    Building on the strengths and small wins that are already working in your life.

How online therapy works

Three steps, start to first session.

New to virtual therapy? It's more ordinary than it sounds — a private link, a quiet room, and a conversation that feels the same as sitting across from someone.

  1. 1

    Reach Out

    Send a message through the form or start directly on Headway or Rula. No long intake process to get a first conversation going.

  2. 2

    Schedule

    We find a time that fits your week. Most people begin with weekly sessions and adjust as things progress.

  3. 3

    Begin Your Journey

    We build a plan that fits you — practical tools you can use right away, alongside the deeper work.

I came in not really knowing how to explain what was wrong. I never once felt rushed or judged, and somehow the words came anyway.

FAQ

Questions worth asking first.

If something isn't answered here, send a message — I'm glad to talk it through before you book anything.

  • All sessions are held securely by video from the comfort of your home. You'll receive a private link before your appointment. It works just like an in-person session — we can see and hear each other clearly, and everything remains fully confidential.

  • Yes. Research shows telehealth therapy is just as effective as traditional in-person counseling for most concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. Many clients prefer the convenience and comfort of meeting from home.

  • The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. You'll share what's bringing you to therapy, and I'll listen without judgment. We'll discuss your goals, answer any questions you have, and begin creating a plan that feels right for you.

  • Sessions typically last 50–55 minutes. Most clients begin with weekly appointments, then adjust the frequency as progress is made.

  • Everyone's journey is different, but many people notice positive changes within the first few sessions. You'll leave with practical tools you can start using right away.

  • Yes, I accept most major insurance plans. I also offer a self-pay rate and can discuss sliding-scale options when needed. Feel free to reach out and we can look at what works best for your situation.

  • No. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I provide talk therapy and do not prescribe medication. If medication may be helpful, I can discuss options and help connect you with a prescriber if needed.

  • I work with adults and couples facing anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, relationship challenges, stress, low self-esteem, life transitions, and the underlying patterns that keep people stuck.

  • Absolutely. Your privacy is protected by the same ethical and legal standards as in-person therapy. Sessions are held on a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform.

  • Please give at least 24–48 hours' notice when possible so the time can be offered to someone else.

  • Simply reach out through the contact form or booking link on this website. We'll schedule a time that works for you and take the first step together.
