About Christine

Christine Williams-Kelly is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and related life transitions. She describes her work in straightforward terms: helping people talk through problems, build communication skills, and find practical ways to cope.

Williams-Kelly uses a mix of client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, emotion-focused methods, and mindfulness practices. Sessions emphasize clear goals and small steps that can be practiced between meetings. She frames therapy as collaborative and goal-oriented rather than purely exploratory.

Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as career strain, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care issues, and features of mood and personality conditions. She also lists focused areas like abandonment, family of origin problems, and compassion fatigue. These topics are addressed through skills-building, communication practice, and attention to emotional patterns.

The therapist notes attention to cultural factors and to issues commonly faced by women and young adults. Her method is to meet each person where they are and adapt techniques to fit day-to-day life. Practical homework and specific behavior changes are commonly used tools.

To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Payment uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies by location.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person's concerns. It helps people feel heard and guides work on practical goals and improved communication.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. It uses simple exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful for anger, relationship conflicts, and coping with strong mood swings.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what works. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques fit daily life and goals.

Confirm session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It also allows for shorter check-ins and using exercises between meetings to practice new skills without needing extra travel time.
