About Christine

Christine Williams-Kelly is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 17 years of experience. She works with adults on common life stresses such as anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, and parenting pressures. Christine also addresses concerns like ADHD, addictions, grief, and career transitions.

She takes a practical, person-focused approach. Sessions aim to identify patterns that fuel frustration and find clearer ways to respond. She uses straightforward tools to help reduce snapping, manage resentment, and handle workplace or family tension.

Her background includes work with multicultural and women’s issues and young adult transitions. Christine draws on several evidence-informed approaches to match each person’s needs. Those methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Client-Centered techniques.

In conversation she focuses on skills people can use between sessions. That might include communication practice, mindfulness exercises, or strategies for coping with cravings and mood swings. She also addresses family of origin issues, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, and problems with boundaries and control.

Christine describes her style as collaborative and direct. She helps clients build self-understanding and practical routines that reduce reactivity. Her work often brings clearer communication, steadier emotion regulation, and better day-to-day functioning.

How sessions work

How Christine applies therapy approaches online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can find their own solutions. It helps with building self-understanding and improving communication in relationships.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns that feed anger or anxiety, such as rumination or catastrophizing.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication skills. Those tools are useful for reducing impulsive reactions and managing strong emotions during conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She adjusts techniques based on what helps most, and she explains choices in clear terms so clients can try them between sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online therapy because it can fit into work breaks, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when needed. Online sessions also make it easier to practice skills in real-life settings and keep therapy consistent during busy periods.
