About Christine

Christine (Chris) Angier is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings a practical, direct style to sessions and focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, depression, and related issues. Chris keeps conversations grounded and asks for honest feedback so work can move forward.

She aims to help people identify changes and take clear steps toward better day-to-day functioning. Chris uses a solution-focused stance that looks for the smallest, most effective changes to try first.

Background and approach

She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help families notice patterns and test new ways of reacting. Sessions move at a steady pace and are built around the goals a family or individual sets together. Her background includes experience with behavioral problems and work in crisis settings.

Over time she has supported situations involving parenting challenges, attention differences such as ADHD, grief, trauma, and issues tied to trust and communication. That practical history shapes how she plans short-term goals and next steps in therapy. In sessions clients can expect straightforward feedback, collaborative planning, and a focus on workable solutions.

Chris treats each person as the expert on their life and partners with them to find realistic approaches they can use at home. She welcomes conversations in English and can work with people both inside and outside the United States using online formats. Getting started involves a brief matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first appointment.

How these approaches translate to online family work

Client-Centered Therapy places the person or family at the center of the process. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what she hears, and follows the family's priorities so goals come from the household itself. This approach helps when families need a calm space to name their concerns and decide what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions clients learn to spot patterns that cause stress or conflict and then try small experiments to test new responses. CBT works well for anxiety, sleeping problems, anger, and habits that affect family life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the family or individual about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to meet from home, coordinate with busy households, and follow up between meetings. The focus remains on clear goals and practical steps that clients can use in everyday life.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
