Christine Edwards, LPC, LMHC

Christine Edwards is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor who offers a calm, human-centered style. She aims to help people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, mood shifts, addiction, or trauma and abuse find clearer ways forward. Her manner is direct, respectful, and free of judgment. She uses approaches that focus on the person first. Sessions often involve listening closely, helping people name what they are feeling, and trying practical steps to reduce symptoms. Christine adapts each session and treatment plan to the client’s needs. Her experience includes work with depression, bipolar concerns, attention-deficit issues, and co-occurring problems like substance use and chronic illness. She also supports people facing relationship struggles, parenting strain, grief, and intimacy-related challenges. Clients may bring concerns about abandonment, attachment, body image, or dissociation and she addresses those alongside other life stressors. Christine blends client-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral techniques and skills from dialectical work and emotionally-focused methods. She brings ten years of clinical experience in Florida and draws on practical tools that people can use between sessions. Her goal is to help people understand patterns that hold them back and to build steps toward a more manageable, satisfying life. She invites those ready to make changes to begin a collaborative process of learning and growth.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding your perspective and offering nonjudgmental support. It helps when someone needs a steady, listening presence to sort through feelings and decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems that respond to step-by-step practice.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and building healthier interactions. Those who struggle with intense mood swings or strong reactions often find the skills helpful.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what works. Clients have a say in which strategies feel most useful.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to check in during a break, join from different places, or use tools and worksheets between meetings. Because session formats were not specified in the profile, confirm the available session types before booking to make sure they match your needs and daily routine.
