About Christine

Christine Williams-Kelly is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida with 17 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Her work often focuses on supporting parents, people managing ADHD or addictions concerns, and those coping with grief or relationship strain.

She draws on client-centered work to meet each person where they are. Christine listens closely and builds goals together so progress feels manageable. Sessions emphasize practical steps for everyday habits and thinking patterns that get in the way of day-to-day life.

Christine also uses cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change them. She brings dialectical strategies when emotions feel overwhelming, and emotionally-focused ideas when relationship or intimacy concerns are central.

Her practice pays attention to cultural background and identity. That means she treats each person’s history and values as part of the work. She aims to help people build self-understanding, stronger communication, and greater resilience.

Clients can expect straightforward, calm sessions that balance listening with practical steps. Christine encourages a pace that fits the person’s life and priorities. To begin, readers should use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete the brief matching questionnaire to schedule according to availability.

Approaches to online care and finding the right fit

Christine blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change everyday thoughts and habits. Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's priorities, helping people name what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small, practical experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy when emotions run high. DBT-style tools teach skills for managing strong feelings and improving emotional regulation, which can help with anger, mood swings, and impulsive behaviors. Choosing an approach is a team effort and Christine will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences.
