About Florence
Prof. Florence Chichester offers help for stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, grief, codependency, addiction concerns, and major life changes. She is a licensed mental health counselor, holding a New York LMHC, and brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work. Florence writes plainly, listens closely, and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.
She uses a person-centered style that puts the client's goals first. Sessions often focus on clearer communication, setting boundaries, and rebuilding self-esteem. Florence also draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at how early relationships still affect feelings and behavior today.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques appear in her work when the goal is to shift unhelpful thinking and establish new routines. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas guide conversations about painful emotions and how to respond to them more effectively. She blends these approaches to match what the client needs in the moment.
Florence has experience with workplace stress, family dynamics, trauma recovery, and parenting-related strain. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiving burdens, and identity questions. Her sessions are conversational and practical, with clear homework and skills to practice between meetings.
People who choose her can expect a warm, steady presence and a focus on small, sustainable changes. To begin, readers are encouraged to review session options and use the site process to schedule an initial meeting.
How attachment, client-centered, and CBT ideas work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotional reactions. Online sessions using these ideas help people notice patterns in relationships and practice new ways of connecting and setting boundaries.Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person's own goals and pacing. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what the client says, and follows their lead to build trust and self-understanding.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep issues, and habits tied to stress, with concrete homework like thought logs and behavior experiments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust those methods as work progresses.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these formats to help people practice communication, try behavioral experiments, and follow guided exercises between sessions.
