About Christine

Christine D'Avico is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with over two decades of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in confidence, or stuck during life changes. Christine also supports those facing grief, relationship problems, sleep struggles, and challenges related to attention and focus such as ADHD.

Her style is practical and direct. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small steps that can make daily life easier.

Background and approach

She blends talking therapy with body-focused techniques and structured exercises so work in sessions transfers to real situations. Christine uses a mix of approaches including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, somatic practices, trauma-focused therapy, and EMDR. She adapts these methods to match each person’s needs rather than following one fixed protocol.

Clients can expect calm guidance, clear tools for managing anxiety and stress, and attention to how emotions and the body interact. Christine often helps people build better routines for sleep, concentration, and self-care while addressing patterns that fuel shame or isolation.

With many years practicing in Florida, she draws on that experience to support adults through career shifts, parenting strains, and compassion fatigue. The aim is steady progress and practical coping skills that fit everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Christine blends client-centered work with trauma-focused and body-based methods to help people heal and build better habits. Client-centered therapy centers the person's own goals and pace, offering a space to be heard and to identify what matters most. Trauma-focused therapy directly addresses overwhelming or painful memories and their effects, aiming to reduce distress and re-establish daily functioning. Somatic therapy pays attention to physical sensations and body responses, using simple practices to relieve tension and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan together so the methods fit the client's needs and preferences rather than the other way around.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions let people use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone calls require less bandwidth and can fit a shorter break during the day. Live chat or messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, homework support, and ongoing reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other demands.
