Chris Whitehead LMSW

I’m Christopher Whitehead, LMSW, an outpatient therapist serving clients in Columbia, South Carolina, and via telehealth. I work with children (6+), teens, young adults, adults, couples, and families, and I strive to create a supportive, respectful space where clients feel understood and empowered to grow.
I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of South Carolina in 2015, with a specialization in child and family therapy. My clinical approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I focus on helping clients build practical coping skills, strengthen communication, and work toward meaningful, realistic goals.
I have experience providing individual, family, couples, group, and school-based therapy, with a strong interest in supporting children and adolescents through emotional, behavioral, and life-transition challenges. I also work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and personal growth.
My goal is to meet clients where they are and support lasting progress through collaboration, clarity, and compassion.
