About Christopher

Christopher Dennison is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with eight years of clinical practice in Tennessee. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, and career concerns. He uses a direct but warm approach that aims to make conversations clear and useful from the first session.

Clients will find brief, practical guidance and a steady presence during sessions. He draws on attachment ideas to help people understand patterns that repeat in relationships.

Background and approach

He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy principles to slow down charged moments and name the feelings underneath conflict. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is part of his work as well, helping people notice their values and take small, workable steps toward them. Sessions are aimed at concrete change rather than abstract theory.

Expect language that is plain and goals that are specific and measurable. He sees therapy as a collaborative process. Christopher helps people identify responses that no longer serve them and practices new ways of relating and coping.

Progress usually comes from small, consistent shifts applied in everyday life. Because he blends attachment, EFT ideas, and ACT, sessions can include mapping relationship patterns, working with intense emotions, and setting value-based goals. He encourages practical homework between meetings to help new habits stick.

How Emotion-Focused and Attachment Work Online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps slow down moments of strong feeling so the emotions underneath conflict can be named and explored. It can be useful for people who want to understand what drives difficult interactions and to practice new ways of responding to intense emotions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence current behavior. This approach aims to identify repetitive interaction cycles and to build safer, more helpful ways of relating to others.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, even when feelings are hard. It is often used alongside attachment and emotion-focused work to create both insight and practical change.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Christopher will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaborative planning helps make sessions feel relevant and realistic.

Online therapy offers practical benefits: video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work between appointments.
