About Christopher
Dr. Christopher Rocchio is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with ten years of experience. He sees people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and low self-esteem. He also focuses on workplace problems, men's issues, and questions about life purpose.
He uses straightforward, skill-based work to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other approaches to structure that work and track progress.
His style is collaborative and nonjudgmental. He helps people improve communication, reduce impulsive patterns, and manage mood ups and downs. He also supports people living with chronic pain, illness, or disability who need ways to cope with ongoing stressors.
Dr. Rocchio uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Motivational Interviewing alongside CBT techniques. That combination is used to clarify values, build motivation for change, and develop new behavioral routines. Clients are invited to set concrete goals and test small experiments between sessions.
To begin, a person fills out a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. The practice uses a cancelable subscription model for sessions, with fees that vary by location. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not accepted.
How CBT and ACT translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. It uses brief exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments to change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood. ACT emphasizes clarifying what matters to the client and practicing actions that align with those values while accepting difficult feelings.He also uses Motivational Interviewing techniques to help people find their own reasons to change. Together these approaches help set clear goals and small steps to try between meetings. Deciding which mix to use is collaborative - the therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what works.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let someone choose sessions that match their energy level, for example a phone check-in versus a longer meeting that includes exercises on camera. Ask about session length and format when scheduling to pick the best fit.
