Christine Finch-Huskey, LMHC

Christine Finch-Huskey is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and self-esteem struggles. She speaks plainly and offers a respectful, compassionate space for someone taking a first step toward change. Christine emphasizes practical conversation and steady support rather than jargon or one-size-fits-all plans.

Christine tailors sessions to each person’s situation and goals. She listens for patterns that cause pain and works with clients to identify small, manageable changes. When motivation is low, she uses focused questions to help people find what matters and decide on next steps.

Her approach draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s experience, plus cognitive behavioral techniques that look at thoughts and behaviors. She also uses trauma-focused strategies to address past wounds and solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals. These methods are combined in ways that match what each person needs.

With 11 years of experience as a Florida LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor), Christine has supported clients through grief, relationship strains, addiction concerns, parenting stress, career shifts, and chronic health problems. She aims to make sessions practical and clear so progress can fit into everyday life.

The first session is often about building trust and setting priorities. From there Christine and the client shape a plan that may include skill-building, goal work, and regular check-ins to track change.

How therapy approaches fit into online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and what matters most to them; it involves open listening and shaping sessions around the client’s priorities and pace. This approach helps when someone needs validation, clarity, and a space to decide direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It offers clear strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep, and mood shifts.

Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to the effects of past trauma and abuse by carefully addressing painful memories and their impact on daily life. It aims to reduce the ways trauma continues to cause distress and to build coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christine will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and daily demands to decide which methods to emphasize. The process is collaborative and may shift as needs change.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are set by the practice. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow sessions during workday breaks or evenings. It also gives flexibility for shorter check-ins when needed and for using tools and worksheets between meetings to track progress.
