Christine D'Avico, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Christine

Christine D'Avico is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, low self-esteem, and parenting concerns. She has 21 years of experience and uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage life changes and day-to-day challenges.

Christine often helps clients who are struggling with trauma, sleep problems, anger, career questions, depression, compassion fatigue, and attention-related concerns. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative.

Background and approach

She listens closely and tailors techniques to each person’s situation. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings as well as ways to reduce overwhelming feelings in the moment. Christine commonly draws on eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, to address painful memories and stuck patterns.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and somatic therapy to notice how stress shows up in the body. These approaches are mixed based on what the person needs. She works from a client-centered stance, keeping the client’s goals central and adjusting pace to match comfort levels.

Christine brings sensitivity to issues like family dynamics, codependency, guilt and shame, isolation, and women’s concerns when they appear in sessions. Sessions are offered in English and provided via multiple online formats. Christine aims to help people find realistic steps forward and steady improvements in day-to-day life.

How Christine’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and experiences, offering a respectful, collaborative space where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports their priorities. It helps when someone wants a therapist who listens first and tailors the work to their needs.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions teach practical skills to change unhelpful thought patterns and build coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

EMDR, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, helps address distress tied to painful memories. In an online setting, EMDR techniques are adapted so people can process difficult experiences while working at a comfortable pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Christine works together with each person to decide which methods fit their situation, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts tools and pacing as needed so the work feels manageable rather than overwhelming.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for quick check-ins between sessions, and let people work from a place where they feel at ease. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same basic therapeutic skills and processing as in-person care, while matching the method to each person’s life and needs.

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.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
