About Christel
Christel Brydegaard is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She offers a calm, collaborative style and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and ADHD. Her first goal is to make therapy feel practical and understandable for busy families and individuals.
Christel believes therapy should be a safe place to talk through hard things and find ways to cope. She works alongside clients to set clear goals and tries different techniques that fit each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on real-life strategies you can use between meetings. She has six years of clinical experience working with trauma, including domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Christel also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
Her background includes helping people after major life changes and losses. Her style is open-minded and nonjudgmental. She tailors interventions as clients make progress and adjusts plans when something isn’t working.
Christel values honest feedback and keeps sessions focused on what the client wants to change. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges that courage. Christel encourages clients to move at a pace that feels doable and to bring specific problems or goals to each session so they can track progress together.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Many therapists combine evidence-based techniques to help clients manage symptoms and build new skills. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety, low mood, and overwhelm. Trauma-focused techniques help people process past events and learn coping skills to reduce intrusive memories and improve day-to-day functioning.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will review your goals, needs, and experiences in early sessions and together decide which techniques to try first. Plans are adjusted based on progress and your feedback so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you hold a full session with face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for quick, on-the-go communication and ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations while working with licensed professionals.
