About Christine

Christine Edwards is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings ten years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other life challenges.

Background and approach

Christine uses a respectful, down-to-earth style that aims to make conversations feel safe and straightforward. She focuses on helping individuals understand and respond to difficult feelings and situations.

That includes coping with trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, intimacy-related concerns, and complicated family dynamics. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiving strain, body image struggles, and the emotional impact of cancer.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and emotionally focused work. Christine also uses elements of the Gottman Method and Jungian ideas when they fit a person’s needs.

She adapts sessions to each person’s priorities and learning style. Sessions are aimed at building clearer communication, better emotion regulation, and more reliable daily routines.

Christine helps people break down big problems into small, manageable steps. She often uses coaching-style tools alongside deeper reflection to create changes that stick.

People who reach out can expect a nonjudgmental, collaborative process. Christine frames goals together with each person and adjusts plans as progress happens.

She emphasizes practical skills that can be used between sessions to improve day-to-day life.

Online approaches that fit into busy lives

Christine uses several evidence-informed approaches in online sessions. Gottman Method ideas focus on improving communication and reducing conflict through structured conversations and practical exercises. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and can explore what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping skills.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. Christine works collaboratively to learn about a person's goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. She will suggest options, try techniques in session, and adjust the plan based on what helps most for the person's situation.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for real-time conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in, and text or chat can fit brief updates or between-session coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or caregiving schedules and support steady progress without long commutes.
