About Christopher
LCSW in California with 15 years of experience, Christopher Tellez helps people managing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, self-esteem, and LGBT concerns. He blends talk therapy with body-based approaches and offers guidance on spiritual practices and meditation when requested.
Christopher works from a somatic perspective that links what the body notices to what the mind thinks and feels. Sessions focus on noticing physical reactions, naming emotions, and trying small practices to ease distress. He also uses client-centered and solution-focused methods to clarify goals and find practical next steps.
He draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at connection and attachment patterns that shape feelings. Psychodynamic ideas are used when exploring how past experiences influence current behavior. Mindfulness practices and simple meditations are offered when clients want tools for calming and focus.
Christopher also brings experience helping people with gender dysphoria, dissociation, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and relationship arrangements such as polyamory. He supports work on money and financial stress, life purpose, isolation, and rebuilding self-love and confidence.
When spiritual practice is part of the work, Christopher can introduce meditation, mantra, and basic Reiki-informed techniques. He encourages people to try practices between sessions and to notice what helps in daily life.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. Online sessions using this style center on understanding your priorities and setting practical goals to change what feels stuck.Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns in how people attach and respond emotionally. In remote work this approach helps identify recurring interaction styles and practice new ways of expressing needs and receiving support.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces short exercises to calm the body and steady attention. These practices can be guided during a session and repeated between meetings to manage anxiety, stress, and panic symptoms.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, then try approaches that fit. Adjustments are made as progress and feedback clarify what helps.
Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let clients use guided practices at home between appointments. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life without promising a specific service.
