About Christine
Christine D'Avico is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 21 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, life transitions, low self-esteem, depression, and anger. Her practice often serves people who want practical ways to cope and change patterns that cause ongoing frustration.
Christine commonly uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, client-centered methods, somatic techniques, trauma-focused work, and cognitive behavioral tools. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She helps people identify thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger and then tests new ways of responding.
She often supports adults navigating changes at work, shifts in relationships, and the emotional fallout from past trauma. Christine also addresses sleep problems, parenting stress, career concerns, compassion fatigue, and issues related to ADHD and grief. She pays attention to family of origin patterns, codependency, and communication problems when those issues come up.
Her style blends talking and experiential work. That means both discussion and body-focused exercises or memory-processing techniques when appropriate. Christine tailors the mix based on what a person needs and what they’re comfortable trying.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered from Florida. The intake route is a short questionnaire and a scheduled first session through the practice portal. Payment and subscription details vary by location and can be discussed during initial contact.
How sessions work
How her main approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a practical plan based on the person's goals. It helps people feel understood and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to test new responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, anger, sleep issues, and mood changes.EMDR is a memory-processing method used to reduce the intensity of upsetting memories and the reactions they trigger. In sessions this can mean brief history-taking, guided processing, and follow-up exercises to test new responses to old triggers. These approaches can be combined as needed so the work matches a person's current concerns and pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods to try first, adjusting as progress is observed. That collaborative process helps align techniques with goals, tolerance for different methods, and daily schedules.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also supports using in-the-moment exercises and homework between sessions to practice new ways of responding to anger and stress.
