About Christine

Christine Williams-Kelly is a Florida LMHC with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and related life changes. She also addresses addiction, ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and career strain.

She uses practical methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on learning small skills and trying them between meetings. Christine combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and mindfulness approaches to change how people respond to stressful situations.

Her work often emphasizes clearer communication and stronger boundaries. She supports people dealing with family problems, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care issues, and aging concerns. Christine also helps with complex presentations such as co-morbidity, bipolar, and disruptive mood symptoms by breaking problems into manageable steps.

In sessions she offers direct feedback, short skill practice, and coaching around everyday challenges. That can include managing workplace stress, reducing avoidance, or improving self-esteem. She pays attention to cultural background and identity when planning practical next steps.

People who prefer structured, goal-oriented work tend to find this approach useful. Christine asks specific questions, sets focused goals, and tracks progress over time. Prospective clients should use the site workflow to review session options and schedule an initial meeting.

How Christine's approaches translate to online work

Christine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thought and behavior, and then try specific strategies to reduce distress and increase functioning. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and managing everyday stressors.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and responding to what the person says so goals come from the client. That approach helps when someone wants a steadier place to talk through values and priorities. Dialectical Behavior Therapy elements are used to teach concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness when emotions feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That can mean trying CBT homework for a few sessions, then adding mindfulness or DBT skills if needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or fit sessions into a work break. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, can adapt exercises and worksheets so they work in remote sessions and in everyday life.
