About Christopher

Christopher Dennison is a licensed marriage and family therapist with eight years of clinical experience and a focus on helping people navigate mood and relationship challenges. He practices in Tennessee and works with adults who are dealing with depression, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, career concerns, and family problems.

Christopher uses approachable language and a direct style in sessions to help clients move forward. He emphasizes attachment-based ideas alongside acceptance and commitment principles.

Background and approach

That means he looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior, and also helps people clarify values and take meaningful steps. Sessions aim to be practical and oriented toward real-life change rather than abstract theory. Christopher describes his manner as warm and caring but straightforward.

He helps people identify strengths they already have and then build on them in small, manageable ways. Therapy may include talking through difficult moments, practicing new ways of communicating, and planning concrete actions between sessions. He has worked across concerns such as mood disorders, relationship strain, and parenting pressures.

Christopher draws from emotionally-focused approaches when relationship emotions are central, helping people notice and shift patterns that keep problems stuck. Prospective clients can expect calm guidance and practical tools. The focus is on clearer connections, steadier mood, and behaviors that match what someone wants for their life.

Online support

Attachment and emotion-focused care online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape how people respond to stress and emotional pain, helping clients notice patterns and try new ways of connecting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand the emotions that drive relationship patterns and then practice new, more helpful ways to interact.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore your goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together you decide whether to emphasize attachment ideas, ACT skills, or emotionally-focused techniques and adjust the plan as you go.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is well suited for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging works for brief updates or ongoing encouragement. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep continuity between sessions.
