About Christine
Christine Shephard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on common concerns such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and trouble coping with life changes. She also addresses stress related to caregiving and compassion fatigue and supports people facing grief, sleep problems, and issues with motivation.
Christine keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first and helps people name what feels hardest. Together they set small, reachable goals and try tools that fit each person’s life. She uses techniques drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and change unhelpful habits.
Her work often includes coaching around career stress, boundaries, and managing emotions like anger or jealousy. She also supports people dealing with long-term illness, aging concerns, and the strain of caregiving. Sessions may address relationship and communication problems, codependency, and decisions around divorce or separation.
Christine aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. She helps people build practical skills for everyday life, from sleep routines to coping plans for intense emotions. The approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
People who want clear steps and steady support may find her style helpful. If you are looking for help with financial stress or money-related anxiety, Christine includes money and financial issues among her focus areas and can work with you to bring those concerns into sessions.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed.
