Christen Thompson, LMHC

Christen Thompson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida who draws on nine years of clinical experience to help people facing addiction, trauma, mood challenges, and life transitions. She speaks English and accepts international clients. Christen aims to create a grounded, human-centered space where people can talk honestly about hard things and build practical ways to manage day-to-day stress. Christen uses approaches that emphasize values, connection, and skills. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with client-centered listening and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people set clear goals and make changes that matter. She also uses attachment-based ideas when relationship patterns show up in therapy. Her background includes long experience in addiction services and work designing clinical programs for first responders. That experience informs how she structures care for people juggling recovery, work demands, or high stress. Christen is familiar with common co-occurring concerns such as anxiety, depression, and attention challenges. Sessions focus on practical tools and steady progress rather than jargon. People can expect to learn skills for coping with cravings, managing mood swings, improving sleep, or handling grief and loss. Therapy also addresses intimacy concerns, body image, and caregiver stress when those issues come up. To begin, prospective clients follow the site’s Start Therapy flow to match with her and schedule a session. Fees vary with location and the subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches guide online care

Christen commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps that align with those values. ACT often helps with anxiety, addiction recovery, and motivation when life feels stuck.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to notice how early relationship patterns affect current connections. This approach can help when trust, intimacy, or repeated relationship conflicts show up in a person's life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christen treats the selection of methods as collaborative and flexible. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before choosing techniques to try together.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available with the provider before booking. This profile does not list specific formats, so checking ahead will clarify whether sessions take place by video, phone, or another option. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce commute time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, and let people use tools learned in therapy in real time between sessions.
