About Christine
Christine D'Avico is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida. She brings 21 years of clinical experience and helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Many clients seek her support for life changes, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, career challenges, or work-related compassion fatigue.
Christine takes a practical, down-to-earth approach. She listens first to understand each person’s story. Then she uses a mix of somatic work, cognitive techniques, and trauma-focused methods to address what is happening in the body and mind.
Background and approach
Sessions are paced to match each person’s needs and comfort level. Her toolkit includes Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Somatic Therapy. Christine adapts these methods rather than applying any single protocol.
The goal is to reduce distress and build skills that fit daily life. People often come for help with self-esteem, codependency, family of origin issues, or feelings of isolation. She also supports those managing guilt, shame, life purpose questions, and aging or geriatric concerns.
Work is collaborative and paced to each person’s readiness. Sessions are offered in English and conducted remotely by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Christine holds the Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential - LMHC - with license number FL LMHC MH6864.
How somatic and trauma-focused methods translate to online work
Somatic Therapy helps people notice how stress and trauma show up in the body and uses gentle movement, breath work, and body awareness to reduce physical tension and overwhelm. It can be useful for anxiety, trauma symptoms, sleep problems, and chronic stress.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the person’s pace. This approach helps people feel heard and safer to try new ways of coping.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical skills to manage mood, worry, and unhelpful habits. It is helpful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then tailor somatic work, CBT, or trauma-focused techniques to those needs. That collaborative process aims to find what fits best for real life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, parenting, and travel. They also let people practice skills between sessions and keep momentum when life gets busy.
