About Christen
Christen Thompson, LMHC, brings nine years of counseling experience and a long personal recovery journey to her work. She draws on practical, people-focused approaches to help clients make clearer choices and cope with life’s stresses. Christen practices in Florida and offers services in English, and she accepts international clients.
Christen uses methods that help people notice their values and take small, manageable steps toward change. She often blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Attachment-based and client-centered perspectives guide how she builds trust and listens to each person’s story.
Her background includes many years working in addiction settings and leading intensive outpatient programs. That experience gave her hands-on knowledge of recovery work, program development, and supervisory responsibilities. She also has experience with people who face trauma, grief, mood differences, anxiety, and stress related to work or caregiving.
In sessions she focuses on practical skills and honest conversation. People can expect a steady pace, concrete strategies, and attention to personal values when making decisions about change. Christen aims to help clients find more consistency, self-respect, and better coping with life’s challenges.
She supports a wide range of concerns including addictions, trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting stress, and caregiver strain. Additional interests include attachment issues, body image, chronic illness, codependency, and complexity that comes with co-morbidity.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their values and take small actions toward them even when feelings are difficult; it is useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes to reduce distress and improve routines for sleep, eating, and mood.Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current reactions; it can help with intimacy concerns, attachment wounds, and relationship patterns. Christen draws on these approaches alongside client-centered listening to tailor work to the person in front of her. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process - she will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful during early sessions to shape treatment together.
