Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me.
I am a 43 year old human being, independently licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts with 15 years of professional work experience in social services. I have worked extensively in emergency mental health, elder, adult, and child and adolescent services, and truly understand the challenges that come with navigating the support system within the Commonwealth. I have a passion helping clients with motivation, self esteem, confidence, anxiety & depression. Mostly, I just enjoy the feeling of making a connection and helping people better understand themselves and feel progression.
I can be helpful guiding individuals navigating the challenges they identify are worthy of change. I believe that most individuals have the capacity to identify areas of change without psychoanalysis. While receiving support with me you will never feel judged, as my role in service to you, is to help you learn to lead yourself down a path which is most comfortable and healthy for you.
I consider myself a generalist, comfortable in utilizing a multitude of methodologies, always with the focus of taking the direction of those seeking support, based upon their current needs and potential goals.
I am wide open to non traditional methods of support, thus I am ready and willing to engage in support using all available forms of communication including: journaling, worksheets, messaging, and Live text, chat, and phone. Additionally, I pride my support on committing to checking messaging 1-2 times a day during the week and occasionally on weekends, and work with individuals upon request to suit needs for sessions when my schedule is unavailable for selection.
I look forward to learning more about you.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Christopher "Chris" Lauzon. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Chris listens; even to my meandering narratives of self doubt. He helps.

I’ve been working with Chris for a little over a week now. We started our sessions together while I was in the middle of a pretty bad anxiety episode and Chris has been instrumental in helping me understand how to navigate this tough part of my life. I couldn’t recommend Chris enough.

Chris is an excellent listener. He helped support me through a very difficult and messy breakup. He was able to give gentle advice and encouragement at a time when I needed it the most. He helped me make a reasonable exit plan and responded quickly to my anxious messages and diary entries.

Chris seems to be a great human being and a great therapist. I feel comfortable with him to speak about my life. On the first session I felt much better with him. I super recommend.
