About Florence
Prof. Florence Chichester is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people who struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, codependency, and life transitions. Florence helps clients who are coping with trauma, grief, addiction issues, and stress that affects day-to-day life.
She uses approaches that focus on attachment and emotional experience alongside practical tools. In sessions she listens for patterns in relationships and helps people notice how those patterns affect feelings and choices. Clients who struggle with people-pleasing, boundary-setting, or repeated caretaking roles will find work on concrete skills as well as emotional understanding.
Her style draws on client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on each person’s concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behavioral experiments. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment-based ideas guide work on closeness, separation, and responding to strong emotions.
Florence also supports practical life topics such as parenting stress, work burnout, sleep and eating concerns, and career decisions. She pays attention to how disability, caregiving demands, adoption or foster history, and neurodiversity can shape coping and recovery. Sessions often move between emotional reflection and hands-on problem solving.
To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past and present relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns in closeness and care and try different ways of responding. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and the client’s goals; in remote sessions this means the therapist follows the client’s lead and reflects what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short experiments and homework that can be tracked between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Florence will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on needs, goals, and what feels practical. That decision can shift as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Confirm current session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Some formats allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, while others let people use video to observe emotional reactions or use audio-only for lower bandwidth. Talk with the therapist after completing the matching questionnaire to learn which options she is offering and find what fits your routine.
