Getting to know Christopher Rains

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Louisville and seven years of combined therapy and case management experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in working with individuals suffering from anxiety, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, self-esteem issues, and codependency. I look at the bigger picture of your life and use a collaborative approach to identify areas we can work on together to improve your quality of life. My approach I am most rooted in DBT, which focuses on mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal skills. I believe this approach is effective in helping people understand how their relationships function, why their mood may be unhelpful, and how to make positive changes. I also utilize CBT to address anxiety, paranoia, and stress, as we often convince ourselves of things that aren’t true about ourselves or the world, creating emotional and relational challenges. Additionally, I use ACT to help people accept what they cannot change and MI to explore disconnects between their deepest desires and behaviors. My focus Beyond common issues like depression and anxiety, I have extensive experience working with individuals facing bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and substance use disorder. I also treat avoidance issues, grief, and panic disorders. My communication style My sessions are informal, with a focus on building rapport so we can openly explore whatever you’re dealing with. Once we establish a relationship, I take a collaborative approach, helping you decide which areas of your life you want to change. I hold clients accountable for change, but in a playful and supportive way.
