About Christopher
Dr. Christopher Fragiskatos is a California LMFT with 20 years of clinical experience working with relationship and family concerns. He focuses on parenting, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, and career-related problems. He offers individual relationship counseling that helps a person look at their relationship from their own perspective rather than as a couples-only process.
He uses clear, practical conversations to help people name what they are facing. Sessions look at patterns of interaction, communication breakdowns, and decision points. He helps people make plans they can test in daily life and notice what changes and what does not.
Dr. Fragiskatos draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen without judgment and follow the client’s priorities. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to practice small, concrete changes. He also integrates the Gottman Method when relationship dynamics and communication skills are a focus.
People come with a range of issues from caregiver stress and control struggles to divorce and separation decisions. He also works with concerns such as isolation, money and workplace problems, social anxiety, and parenting a child who is acting out.
Sessions are aimed at helping a person gain clarity, reduce recurring conflict, and set workable steps forward. To begin, the process asks a person to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so goals and options can be discussed.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the person’s priorities and reflecting what matters to them. Online sessions using this approach center the client’s goals and allow discussion of relationship or parenting concerns from the client’s angle.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thoughts and actions that keep problems going. In an online session CBT is used to identify unhelpful thinking, practice new responses, and assign short exercises to try between meetings.
The Gottman Method emphasizes communication skills and interaction patterns in relationships. When that method is used online the therapist and client look at how partners talk, plan small experiments to change interaction, and practice new skills in sessions.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs, and then recommend which methods to emphasize. That selection can change as progress is made and as new issues emerge.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions into workdays, reduce travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to an online setting so the work continues between sessions.
