About Christine
Christine D'Avico is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 21 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, life changes, and depression. Christine also addresses trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, compassion fatigue, and issues related to ADHD and codependency.
She commonly sees higher-functioning adults who want practical steps to navigate change. Sessions are direct and conversational. Christine uses techniques from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and change unhelpful thinking.
When trauma is involved she often brings in EMDR, which she has used to help people shift intense memories and reactions. She also works with somatic methods that connect what the body is holding to thoughts and feelings. Christine describes the work as collaborative - she and the client pick methods that fit the problem and the person.
Her approach focuses on clear skills for setting boundaries, calming anxiety, improving sleep, and rebuilding confidence. She helps people untangle family-of-origin issues and communication problems that keep old patterns repeating. Practical homework and short-term strategies are part of the offering when they make sense.
Christine practices in Florida and conducts work in English. People interested in starting are asked to use the site pathway to match and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Christine commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening carefully and helping people find their own solutions; it is useful for building confidence and talking through relationship or life-change concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills for anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behavior patterns.She also uses EMDR for trauma work when memories or intense reactions interfere with daily life. EMDR involves guided processing of distressing memories to reduce their emotional charge and can help with trauma-related anxiety, sleep disruption, and reactive behavior. These approaches are shared so people understand what the work can involve, not as guarantees of a specific result.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past experiences, and what feels manageable. Together they choose whether to focus on skills practice, body-based work, or trauma processing at a pace the client can handle.
The site notes session logistics separately; confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins, not needing to travel, and scheduling around work or caregiving are common practical benefits. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework so they can be used between sessions and in everyday settings.
