About Christopher
Christopher Rhodes is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and intimacy-related concerns. He also supports people dealing with codependency, attachment issues, communication problems, and life changes. Christopher uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions and invites clients to set clear goals together.
He trained in psychology and clinical counseling, and brings eight years of professional experience to his work. Sessions focus on what is happening now - thoughts, behaviors, and relationships - and how to change patterns that cause pain. Christopher listens without judgment and centers the client’s goals in each meeting.
His approach draws on client-centered work to build a trusting space, cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts, and dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation. He also uses solution-focused and motivational interviewing tools to boost motivation and clarify next steps.
Christopher has worked with people facing trauma, substance use concerns, sexual dissatisfaction and related issues, low self-esteem, and difficulty coping after loss or disaster. He offers concrete strategies for improving communication, reducing shame, and increasing day-to-day coping skills.
If someone wants to start, Christopher asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and he accepts international clients who can participate in English.
How Christopher’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. It helps people feel heard and guides the work around what matters most to them, whether that is stress, relationships, or self-esteem.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety, depression, or compulsive actions.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It can be useful for impulsivity, mood swings, and learning steady coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christopher will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan over time in a collaborative way.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it reduces travel time, lets people join from a quieter spot, or makes scheduling shorter check-ins more feasible. Many therapists use skills practice, homework, and real-time problem solving online just as they do in person, and Christopher’s approaches adapt well to those practical tasks.
