Christopher Tabb

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


I am happily married and the proud father of six children! My passion includes Adolescent Counseling, Marriage and Couples Counseling, working through anxiety and depression issues and generally listening and providing solid techniques in conflict resolution of all types. I possess a Masters degree in Business (MBA) as well as a Masters Degree in Professional Counseling (focus on clinical psychology) so I believe I can help with financial matters as they may manifest to relational issues. I provide a safe and confidential environment in which to develop trust and confidence.

In my senior years, my wisdom is based more on my life's experiences than the advanced educational degrees. I do not judge; just listen and pose constructive ideas that may help in the therapeutic process. I embrace Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy: concentrating on how we think and how that affects our behavior.
