About Christen
Christen Thompson, LMHC, uses trauma-informed methods with a focus on practical change. She guides people through addiction recovery and helps them manage anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Her style is direct, compassionate, and goal-oriented.
Christen brings nine years as a licensed mental health counselor in Florida to her work. She draws on a mix of approaches - including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused ideas, and cognitive-behavioral strategies - to tailor sessions to each person.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build skills for coping, reduce unhealthy patterns, and increase daily functioning. Her clinical background includes years in addictions care and program development for first responders. That experience shaped how she organizes treatment and supports people who face complex stressors.
Christen emphasizes clear tools and steady progress rather than abstract theory. In sessions she helps people address substance use, trauma and abuse, bipolar and mood concerns, ADHD, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related struggles. She also works with issues such as body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and career-related strain.
The goal is to restore stability and help clients make choices that match their values. Christen takes a human-centered approach that respects each person’s story. She encourages skills practice between sessions and focuses on small, achievable steps.
People who want straightforward guidance and practical strategies often look to her for support.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward them. Sessions focus on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and building small, values-guided actions to reduce avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, insomnia, and habit change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match goals and preferences. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused ideas to fit what a person needs at different times.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and demonstration of skills. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break during a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging offers brief check-ins, shared resources, and ongoing support between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into day-to-day life.
