Christopher Tellez

Christopher Tellez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns. He also supports people navigating LGBT-related issues and those coping with panic, isolation, or questions about sexuality. Christopher writes in plain, direct terms and aims to create a calm, steady space for people to begin difficult conversations.

He blends mindful awareness with body-focused work to help people notice how emotions show up in their bodies. Sessions often involve simple practices like breathing, grounding, and paying attention to sensations so strong feelings can be felt and moved through. Christopher emphasizes practical steps people can try between sessions to reduce overwhelm and build resilience.

Christopher brings 15 years of experience to his work and holds a Master of Social Work from Columbia University. He earned his LCSW in California in 2021 and has run a wellness practice focused on somatic and meditative methods. That background informs a gentle, exploratory style rather than a directive or prescriptive one.

He centers client experience, treating each person as the expert on their life while offering tools drawn from mindfulness, emotionally-focused approaches, and solution-focused strategies. When spiritual practice or meditation is important to a client, Christopher can include mantra and meditation techniques as part of the sessions.

Sessions aim to be practical and manageable. Christopher helps people set small goals, track what works, and adapt strategies as life changes. He encourages steady progress over quick fixes.

Mindful and Emotion-Focused Work Online

Christopher combines Mindfulness Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in ways that help people notice what they are feeling and respond with more clarity. Mindfulness Therapy in his work means simple attention practices, breathing, and body awareness to reduce reactivity and manage anxiety or stress. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the person’s priorities, listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most to them.

He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and track emotional patterns and their impact on relationships or self-worth. That approach supports clearer communication and helps people practice new responses when old patterns arise. Together these methods aim to increase calm, improve emotional understanding, and build steps toward goals.

Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. Christopher will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit each person. He checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan as the work progresses.
