About Christian

Christian Cannon is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 15 years of professional experience. He focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression, drawing on a range of therapeutic methods to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Background and approach

His background includes supporting clients with substance-related concerns, relapse prevention, and trauma from various forms of abuse, as well as addressing complex emotional states like guilt, shame, and impulsivity. He cultivates an atmosphere where clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment, emphasizing openness and collaboration.

Christian uses evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance and commitment strategies, dialectical skills, emotionally-focused work, and client-centered principles to create practical tools and deeper self-understanding. Prospective clients in Florida who speak English can connect via a subscription model that allows scheduling according to his availability.

He encourages those ready to pursue lasting change to take the first step and begin the matching process to set up sessions.

How practical therapies translate to online care

Christian integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning concrete skills to change behaviors and emotional responses, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and accepting difficult internal experiences while building psychological flexibility, helping clients move toward meaningful goals despite ongoing discomfort.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist reviews a client’s goals, preferences, and presenting concerns and recommends or blends methods that fit each person’s needs. That collaborative stance helps tailor sessions so they feel practical and personally relevant rather than prescriptive.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it possible to practice skills between sessions, check in more frequently when needed, and maintain continuity of care even when in-person meetings aren’t convenient. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work effectively in remote settings while focusing on client goals and progress.
