Christopher House, MD, LCSW-C

Christopher House is a licensed therapist practicing in Maryland with 10 years of professional experience. He holds an MD, which indicates a Doctor of Medicine, and an LCSW-C, which is a Licensed Certified Social Worker - Clinical, and he brings that combined training to his work with individuals facing a range of challenges.

He regularly supports people dealing with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, bipolar disorder, depression, and the practical and emotional demands of major life changes. He also addresses concerns such as forgiveness, isolation and loneliness, questions of life purpose, financial and money-related stress, and other mood-related issues. His approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion toward each person he sees.

Christopher adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each client’s specific situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. He recognizes that beginning therapy requires courage and acknowledges that first step, offering steady guidance as clients move toward their goals. His practice includes options for remote care to increase access and fit different schedules and needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the client’s goals and experiences guide the work. This approach helps people who want a collaborative space to explore feelings, clarify values, and develop personal solutions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, and mood difficulties. CBT is often used for managing symptoms, building coping skills, and addressing everyday challenges.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and relationship patterns influence current feelings and behaviors, which can be useful for people seeking deeper understanding of long-standing issues. Christopher House works collaboratively with each client to determine which approach or combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress is made.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to connect from different locations. These options provide flexibility in scheduling, allow for ongoing support between sessions, and enable licensed professionals to offer care that matches each person’s circumstances and comfort.
