About Christopher
Dr. Christopher Fragiskatos welcomes parents and individuals who are facing relationship strain, parenting stress, or big life transitions. He writes plainly about how worry, anger, or habits like substance use can arrive when life feels out of control. He aims to help people regain clarity and find practical next steps they can act on. Many reach out when a child is struggling, a relationship is uncertain, or a career change feels overwhelming.
Dr. Fragiskatos approaches work in a straightforward way. He listens first to understand what matters most to a person. Sessions focus on problems as they show up in daily life and on small changes that can reduce stress and improve communication. He uses techniques from client-centered therapy to keep conversations focused on the client's experience.
He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, helping people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors to test what works. For relationship concerns he brings in elements of the Gottman Method to improve connection and reduce conflict. These approaches are blended to fit the client rather than follow a rigid plan.
Dr. Fragiskatos has twenty years of clinical experience and holds a California licensed marriage and family therapist credential, LMFT. He practices in California and conducts sessions in English. He offers individual relationship counseling that lets one person explore their role in a partnership and decide how to move forward.

How his therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client's own experience and goals. The therapist listens with openness, reflects what he hears, and helps clients find their own answers to parenting and relationship questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot thinking patterns that increase anxiety or conflict and practice different behaviors to see what changes. The Gottman Method focuses on communication and repair in relationships; it offers tools to reduce repeated arguments and build better everyday interactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that match those goals. Together they adjust the work over time based on what is helpful and what feels realistic for home and family life.
