More about Chris
- 20 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in San Antonio, TX. with more than 10 years’ experience of
practice in Texas. I also worked as a counselor in other states for over 10 years. Altogether, I have over
20 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked extensively with folks dealing with
depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorders, post-traumatic stress, crisis, victims of crime, family relationship
issues, sports performance, and other issues.
My approach to counseling is client-centered, where you are highly valued, respected and honored. I
understand the issues you want to resolve are extremely important to you, your family, and others close
to you. The counseling process will be specifically designed around you and your needs to motivate and
empower you. Therefore, I utilize the most effective techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy,
Cognitive Processing Therapy, Solution-Focused techniques, and others that produce positive results,
that change lives.
Seeking out counseling and taking that first step in the process can be scary, but let your heart not be
troubled. It will be one of the best decisions made in getting back to a healthier you and life. I would be
honored to come along side you and help you reach those goals. Blessings.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Great problem solving advice and excellent listener
Chris is an amazing therapist, every session so far has been extremely helpful and I would’ve never worked through my issues without him. Would recommend him to anyone that falls into the categories that he specializes in like myself.
So far Chris has been very helpful. I feel Very lucky to have been setup with him.
As I was on the verge of giving up on myself, an ad popped up on an article that I was reading relatable to my current feelings. I clicked it, signed up, took a risk because the other option would not have benefited myself or anyone that I love and care for. After writing a brief description of what goes on in my mind daily, I was matched with Chris Fisher. He is a great listener, follows up with me in a timely manner, over all he carries himself nonjudgmental, positive, and does his best we stay on track with all of my chaotic thoughts and stay focused on the bigger picture. I appreciate this platform and highly recommend!
Chris is very down to earth and understanding. He managed to make tough topics light and easy to talk through. Would definitely recommend
