Christopher Childers

Many of the people who find Christopher Childers are carrying something they haven’t been able to set down — a relationship fraying at the edges, a career that stopped making sense, anxiety that won’t quiet, or a trauma that keeps reshaping the present. Christopher is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based in Marion, Ohio, who works with teenagers, adults, couples, and families navigating emotional distress, abuse recovery, addiction, and the full range of mood and anxiety disorders.

His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift the thought patterns driving distress, Structural Family Therapy to examine how family dynamics sustain problems, and couples work that addresses both conflict and disconnection. When partners find themselves arguing over a text thread instead of talking face to face, or a family meal ends with everyone on their own screen, those patterns tend to show up in sessions — and that’s exactly the kind of friction Christopher helps people work through.

Christopher also supports counselors seeking professional supervision, and works with individuals on career transitions and burnout. Sessions are available in person at his Marion and Ontario offices or online. Fees are $150 per 50-minute session, with sliding-scale options considered case by case, and most insurance is accepted.
