About Christopher
Christopher Rhodes is a Florida LMHC with eight years of clinical experience. He works with young adults and others facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma, and issues around self-esteem and life changes.
He speaks plain language in sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Christopher draws on client-centered work to listen and validate, and on cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. He also uses dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to build coping skills and momentum toward goals.
In the room he helps people talk through negative self-talk, low motivation, and substance use problems. He addresses sexual concerns including sexual dysfunctions and pornography-related issues without judgment. He also supports people dealing with codependency, communication problems, and attachment-related struggles.
Christopher has worked with clients affected by trauma, compassion fatigue, and major life disruptions. He offers straightforward techniques for managing impulses, reducing shame and guilt, and improving day-to-day functioning. He helps clients clarify life purpose and work through isolation or relationship crises.
Clients can expect a pragmatic, collaborative approach that blends listening with concrete skills practice. Before a first session he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a meeting to set goals and decide on next steps.
How his approaches work in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what clients say. It helps people feel heard and clarify what matters to them, which is useful for relationship and identity concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical steps to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, negative self-talk, and motivation issues.
Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. Those skills can help with impulsivity, relationship conflicts, and coping during big life changes.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Christopher will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around school, work, or caregiving. It also allows shorter check-ins, audio-only options when camera use is difficult, and tools for practicing skills between meetings. These practical benefits can make consistent care easier to maintain.
