About Christine

Christine Edwards is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with ten years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, addictions, and relationship and family matters. Christine also addresses codependency, attention challenges, grief, intimacy issues, parenting strain, and coping with life changes.

Her style is client-centered and straightforward. She helps people talk through what’s happening, name stressful patterns, and try different ways to respond. She uses clear techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside emotion-focused methods to address feelings and interaction patterns.

Sessions begin by identifying what the person most wants to change. Christine looks at thoughts, behaviors, and relationship patterns that keep the same problems repeating. She offers practical exercises to test new responses between sessions and checks what does and doesn’t work.

For people tangled in people-pleasing or living around someone else’s moods or substance use, she helps set clearer personal boundaries and build steadier emotions. For those with mood disorders or ADHD, she breaks problems into manageable steps and tracks progress over time.

Christine adapts session content based on how a person responds. She prefers a human-centered approach that combines skills training, emotion work, and conversation about life patterns. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first meeting to map goals and next steps.

How sessions work

How Christine blends practical approaches online

Christine uses client-centered work to focus on what matters to the person. That means listening closely to immediate concerns and helping the person set practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors with concrete exercises and experiments. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with overwhelm and relationship patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with the person about symptoms, goals, and what methods feel most useful. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life - they can be easier to schedule around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also makes it possible to practice new skills between sessions in real-life settings and bring that experience into therapy for review.
