About Christopher
Christopher Gelinas is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of experience. He helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or unsure about parenting and family relationships. He also supports work on self-esteem, motivation, and attention-related concerns such as ADHD.
Christopher uses a straightforward, nonjudgmental approach in sessions. He creates space for clients to talk about what matters most and to try small, practical changes. He aims to help people feel more confident in day-to-day choices and family interactions.
He draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds affect current relationships. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of coping. Those two approaches are often combined to match what a person needs in the room.
Christopher is licensed in Florida and Rhode Island and has worked in clinical settings for over a decade. He offers calm, steady support while helping clients build skills they can use between sessions. He is open to people from many backgrounds and notes he is not a specifically Christian-based therapist.

How attachment and CBT can translate to remote care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations in current relationships. It helps people notice patterns in how they seek closeness, handle conflict, and respond to stress so they can try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior; it helps people test unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses to anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christopher will work with each person to choose whether attachment-focused work, CBT, or a mix of both will best match their goals and preferences. He asks about what matters most and adjusts the plan as people learn what helps.
Readers should confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the profile. 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 can also support steady progress by keeping regular appointments and applying skills between sessions.
