About Christine
Christine D'Avico is a Florida LMHC with 21 years of clinical experience working with adults. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem struggles, depression, and life transitions. She also helps with family of origin issues and other family-related patterns that continue to affect adult life.
Her approach is practical and down-to-earth. She uses Client-Centered methods to listen and follow what matters most to each person. Christine also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns, and EMDR and Somatic Therapy when past events or bodily reactions keep showing up in daily life.
Sessions focus on clear goals and real-world changes. Christine helps people notice how old family roles, expectations, or communication styles still shape current choices. She works with coping skills for sleep, anger, parenting stress, career strain, and attention-related concerns such as ADHD symptoms.
Clients can expect a mix of talking, skills practice, and body-aware techniques where useful. EMDR is described as a tool she frequently uses to address stuck feelings and memories, while CBT offers step-by-step ways to test unhelpful thoughts. Somatic work attends to how the body holds tension or reactions.
Her background centers on steady clinical practice in Florida and many years helping adults manage change. Christine combines several methods to help people make practical shifts in behavior, relationships, and everyday routines.
How Christine uses different approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns back, asks clarifying questions, and helps clients set goals they want to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers straightforward exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to address memories or experiences that keep triggering strong reactions; sessions combine focused attention and guided processing to reduce intensity over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will discuss options and collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, EMDR, somatic techniques, or a mix makes the most sense for current goals and comfort level. That decision can shift as progress is made.
Session formats and practical details should be confirmed before booking. The benefit of remote sessions is that they can fit into everyday life more easily, helping people schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities. Remote work also makes it simple to do short check-ins or more focused skill practice when that fits best. Confirm the exact session options and scheduling steps when you set up the first appointment.
