About Christine
Christine D'Avico is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 21 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, low self-esteem, and life changes. Her work also includes support for sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, career questions, and compassion fatigue.
She concentrates on practical skills and clear steps. Sessions often focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses. Christine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other methods to address thinking patterns that drive distress.
Her approach also includes EMDR and somatic techniques when trauma or intense body sensations are part of the problem. Those methods are used alongside client-centered conversations to keep sessions focused on what matters now. She favors concrete exercises, short experiments, and regular check-ins on progress.
Christine commonly works with adults who are navigating major changes or chronic interpersonal stress. She also addresses issues linked to family of origin, codependency, shame, isolation, life purpose, and women's issues. Aging and geriatric concerns are listed among her additional focus areas.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her long experience helping people rearrange habits that cause ongoing distress. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.
Remote sessions and therapeutic approaches
The work often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns that sustain stress and anxiety. CBT in this setting focuses on clear steps - noticing an automatic thought, testing it, and trying a different response - which helps with worry, low mood, and sleep problems.EMDR is used when past events continue to produce strong reactions. In simple terms, EMDR helps reduce the intensity of difficult memories and the feelings attached to them. Somatic therapy addresses physical sensations connected to trauma or chronic tension by guiding attention to the body and learning ways to ease reactivity.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Christine will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so confirm current session options before booking.

Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for an online setting to keep work practical and usable in daily life.
