About Christine

Christine Edwards is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with ten years of experience. She sees individuals and helps them with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, addiction concerns, relationship and family-related issues, parenting, grief, and attention difficulties. Her stated approach blends client-centered work with cognitive-behavioral and dialectical strategies, plus elements of emotionally-focused and Gottman-informed work.

Christine uses plain, direct conversation in sessions. She listens to what matters to the person and then uses talk-based techniques to identify patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions may include examining thoughts and behaviors, practicing skills for emotion regulation, and working on communication habits that affect close relationships.

She also addresses longer-term patterns such as attachment or abandonment concerns, codependency, and dissociation. Christine lists additional focus areas including chronic illness and caregiver stress, body image, cancer-related impacts, and co-morbid mental health challenges. She names work with anger, intimacy-related issues, and adjustment to life changes among her areas of practice.

Christine describes her counseling style as humanistic and genuine. She emphasizes respectful, nonjudgmental interaction and adapts sessions and treatment plans to the person’s needs. That includes integrating motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas when they are useful.

For people looking for practical help, she frames therapy around learning skills, changing unhelpful patterns, and improving daily functioning. To begin, the usual steps are a brief matching process and scheduling a first session through the platform.

How Christine's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective. The therapist offers listening and reflection to help people clarify feelings and choices. This approach is often used for concerns like self-esteem, attachment issues, and adjustment to life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. CBT is commonly used for stress, anxiety, mood disorders, and some forms of addiction work.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It adds practical skills training for intense emotions, which can help with anger, relationship problems, and mood instability.

Christine treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with the person to choose methods that match goals and preferences and may combine elements from different approaches as needed. The plan evolves based on what is helpful in early sessions.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce time spent commuting. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and skill practice so they work in a virtual setting and to fit a person’s daily routines.
