About Christopher
LMHC Christopher Suchan practices in New York and has three years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are conducted in English and the practice is based in New York.
Christopher uses straightforward conversation to help people manage what feels overwhelming. He adapts his approach to the concern at hand, drawing on client-centered methods to listen and build direction together. He also uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and develop practical skills.
Mindfulness techniques are part of his work when helpful, offering simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. He often combines short skills practice with talk-based problem solving so clients leave sessions with concrete steps to try.
Christopher has additional focus areas that include aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, money and financial issues, phobias, seasonal affective disorder (SAD), self-love, social anxiety and phobia, workplace issues, and young adult concerns. He frames these topics in day-to-day terms and works on small, achievable changes.
Sessions begin with a short assessment and a discussion of goals. From there he and the client agree on techniques to use and how progress will be checked. Practical planning and simple behavioral experiments are common parts of his approach.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building goals together. Online sessions can mirror that style by using structured check-ins and open dialogue to identify what matters most and set session goals.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In remote sessions, CBT often includes homework and brief skill practice between meetings to test changes in daily life, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity. These practices can be guided in a session and then practiced independently during the week to support mood and stress management.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with each client to choose which methods to try, based on the client's goals and preferences. The plan can be adjusted over time if something is not working.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for flexible timing such as brief check-ins or longer weekly meetings depending on what fits a client's routine.
