About Christopher
Christopher Keil is a licensed counselor based in Utah who focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and depression. He is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with seven years in his current counseling role and twelve years in the mental health field overall. He speaks English and accepts international clients.
Keil aims for straightforward, practical work in early sessions. He creates a calm space where people can say what they feel and think without judgment. He encourages small steps so clients see movement rather than feeling stuck.
His approach draws on methods such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Narrative Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to address painful memories, personal stories, and internal parts that affect daily life. Keil helps people process strong emotions and reduce overwhelm so they can return to day-to-day tasks with more ease.
He often works with people who have felt stalled after other supports did not help. He notes that early sessions can produce noticeable change for some clients, while others need a longer pace. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location and the therapist's schedule.

How these approaches work for online therapy
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps people process distressing memories by using focused attention and guided bilateral stimulation to reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions. It is often used when past events continue to cause strong emotional or physical responses.Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves. It helps separate a person from their problems and rewrite those stories in ways that support new choices and healthier behavior. This can be useful for issues like shame, guilt, or life purpose concerns.
Internal Family Systems treats inner thoughts and feelings as parts that have roles and intentions. Working with these parts helps reduce inner conflict and improves self-leadership, which can ease anxiety, impulsivity, and shame-related issues.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change as progress is made and new concerns appear.
Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into daily life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on busy days, or offer options when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking so arrangements match personal needs.
