About Christopher
Christopher Rhodes is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy and relationship concerns, and codependency. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.
Christopher uses straightforward, talk-based work combined with practical skills. He often helps people notice negative self-talk and the beliefs that keep them stuck. He also guides clients who struggle with communication, motivation, sexual concerns, or substance use to try small, manageable changes between sessions.
His approach draws on client-centered methods to focus on what matters to the person sitting in the room. Christopher also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage intense feelings or impulses. Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs help finding reasons to change and keeping momentum.
In sessions he tends to break problems into concrete steps. That can include short experiments, role-played conversations, and simple behavioral plans. He encourages tracking outcomes so people can see progress or decide on a next move.
People who come to him for codependency often want clearer boundaries, less people-pleasing, and a stronger sense of themselves. Christopher helps them practice saying no, naming needs, and making decisions that reflect their priorities. He asks clients to try small, realistic steps and to notice what those steps change.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's concerns and priorities. Online sessions using this approach mean the conversation centers on what the person wants to address now, with the therapist reflecting and clarifying to help decisions become clearer.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and test unhelpful thoughts and then change behaviors. Online CBT often uses brief homework tasks and simple tracking tools that people can use between sessions to notice patterns and test new behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and impulsive actions. In remote work this can translate into learning short distress-tolerance techniques and emotion regulation practices that are easy to rehearse between appointments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will help clients and therapists together decide which methods fit best based on the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That means approaches can shift as progress or new priorities appear.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid being on camera if someone prefers audio only. These practical advantages can help people maintain regular sessions while they test changes in daily life.
