About Christine

Christine Williams-Kelly is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, ADHD, addictions, grief, and other life changes. Her practice also addresses identity and relationship-related issues and career strain.

She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered approaches. Christine also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. In sessions she focuses on emotions, patterns, and the small changes that can improve day-to-day coping.

Her style emphasizes clear, practical steps. She helps clients name difficult feelings, practice new ways of communicating, and try skills between sessions. Therapy includes talking through past experiences that still matter now, and building routines that reduce overwhelm.

Christine pays attention to cultural background and individual identity. That means she aims to notice how life context affects stress, self-esteem, and relationships. She also addresses topics such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, and family of origin problems.

Sessions typically combine listening with structured skill work. Clients can expect straightforward explanations of methods and small homework tasks when useful. For next steps, users complete the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.

How her approaches translate to online work

Christine uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify core emotions and how those emotions shape patterns of reacting. EFT can be useful when strong feelings are hard to name and when patterns keep repeating. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person, which can clarify goals and priorities during remote sessions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to teach concrete skills for changing thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, and habits that cause daily stress. Together these methods allow for both emotional exploration and specific skill practice in sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to emphasize, based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That discussion can happen in the first sessions and be adjusted as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example attending during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a shorter check-in when days are tight. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and brief skill practices to the format a client prefers.
