Christopher Suchan, LMHC

Christopher Suchan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and big life changes. He emphasizes respectful, sensitive care and works to meet each person where they are. Christopher frames therapy as a practical step toward a more manageable, satisfying life.

He tailors conversations and treatment plans to the needs of each individual. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps clients can try between meetings. Christopher pays special attention to compassion fatigue and the strains caregivers often face, as well as concerns that come with aging and geriatric issues.

Christopher uses tools from client-centered work to make space for whatever a person brings to the room. He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new patterns of behavior. Mindfulness practices are included to help people notice their experience and reduce reactivity.

With three years of clinical experience in New York, he balances practical strategies with a calm, respectful presence. He invites people to try small changes that build over time. Christopher frames the work as a collaborative process, where the client’s priorities guide each step.

If you are weighing a first appointment, he encourages completing a short matching questionnaire to get started. That helps match goals and schedule before the first session.

How these approaches work for online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s priorities. In practice this means the therapist follows your lead, reflects what they hear, and helps clarify goals so sessions feel relevant. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors link to feelings; it uses simple experiments and exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting when anxiety or low mood arise. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support calm focus.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try techniques that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. You and the therapist decide together which methods to keep or change as therapy progresses.

Confirm the current session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule, and remove travel time so sessions are simpler to attend. Many people find that having sessions from their usual routines helps them apply strategies between meetings and maintain momentum between sessions.
