About Christine

Christine Edwards is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 10 years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, ADHD, parenting strain, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and anger. Sessions focus on helping people understand what keeps patterns going and develop practical ways to respond differently.

Her style draws on client-centered principles and cognitive-behavioral strategies. That means conversations that prioritize the person's goals alongside skills practice to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses elements from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused work when those fit the situation.

Christine describes her way of working as genuine and humanistic. She aims to treat people with respect and without judgment while adapting sessions to current needs. In practice that can look like talking through a recent conflict, trying a new coping skill, or pacing emotional material so it feels manageable.

She often helps people who feel stuck after loss, big life changes, or repeated fights with people they care about. Sessions may include problem-solving, communication skills, grief processing, or strategies for managing strong emotion like anger so it causes less fallout.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach that mixes talk with practical exercises. The work tends to be goal-focused and paced to what the person can use between sessions.

How sessions work

How her approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping the client set the agenda. The therapist follows the person's concerns and emphasizes understanding and respect to help clarify goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress by introducing exercises and homework that target patterns between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful when strong feelings like anger cause relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. That can mean starting with client-centered talking, adding CBT skill practice, or using DBT techniques for managing intense moments. The plan is adjusted as needs change.

The practical benefits of online work include easier fitting sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, and avoiding travel time. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Overall, online sessions can allow regular, focused practice of skills and communication work that carry over into everyday life.
