About Christopher
Dr. Christopher Fragiskatos helps people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, career crossroads, and difficult life transitions. He is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with twenty years of experience. His approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at reducing anxiety, improving communication, and finding clearer next steps.
Clients often come with worries about a partner, a child’s behavior, substance use, or feeling stuck at work. Dr. Fragiskatos listens closely and works with each person to identify what matters most to them. Sessions focus on small, manageable changes that can make daily life feel more manageable.
He blends client-centered therapy with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and elements of the Gottman Method. That mix helps people understand their own goals, spot unhelpful patterns, and practice new ways of relating. The tone in sessions is collaborative and direct, with clear suggestions and space for reflection.
Dr. Fragiskatos also supports people coping with caregiver stress, isolation, money worries, and divorce or separation decisions. He encourages clients to try practical strategies at home, then review what worked and adjust the plan.
Based in California, he offers a straightforward intake process and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to his availability.
How his approaches work in online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. It involves listening, reflecting, and helping the client shape their own goals rather than imposing solutions. This approach is useful for people who need space to clarify values and make decisions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking, test new behaviors, and reduce anxiety or stress through practical exercises. The Gottman Method offers concrete skills for improving relationship communication and managing conflicts, useful for people wanting clearer interaction patterns.
Finding the best approach is a shared effort. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to emphasize over time.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let clients practice new communication skills between sessions and bring those experiences back to work through collaborative planning.
