About Christine
Christine D'Avico is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with over two decades of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports clients facing life changes, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, and career pressures.
Her style is direct and collaborative. Christine listens first, then uses practical steps you can try between sessions. She adapts methods to fit each person's needs rather than applying one fixed plan.
Background and approach
Christine often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools to shift thoughts and everyday habits. She also uses EMDR and somatic techniques when trauma or body-held tension are part of the problem. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable changes.
She has 21 years of experience helping people carve out routines, rebuild confidence, and address family-of-origin issues and codependency patterns. Christine pays attention to how stress shows up in the body and in relationships, then works with clients to develop new responses. People who meet with her usually get a mix of talking, skill practice, and body-based exercises when relevant.
Christine aims to make therapy feel manageable for busy lives, offering straightforward feedback and tools to try between sessions.
How her approaches work online and in-session
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's priorities. The therapist offers empathy and reflects what matters most so clients can clarify goals and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replaces them with practical skills for daily life, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses distress tied to painful memories by using guided bilateral stimulation alongside processing, which can reduce the power of those memories.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss options and tailor techniques based on symptoms, history, and what the client prefers. That collaboration means methods can shift over time as needs change and progress is reviewed together.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is helpful when visual cues and rapport matter, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options offer flexibility for scheduling and for matching the format to a client's comfort and daily routine.
