About Christine

Christine D'Avico is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With over two decades of experience she draws on a range of trauma-informed methods to address issues such as trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, sleeping problems, parenting and career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Additional areas of attention include codependency, family of origin dynamics, isolation and loneliness, and questions of life purpose and self-love.

Her approach is collaborative and tailored, blending Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with EMDR, somatic techniques, internal family systems ideas, and client-centered principles to fit each person's needs. Christine adapts interventions to support coping with change, improving communication, and resolving painful feelings like guilt and shame.

She offers a steady, experienced presence for those navigating complex emotional challenges and aims to create an individualized path forward for each client.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to your needs

Christine blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR into online work to address both thinking patterns and stored emotional memories. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and day-to-day coping. EMDR uses structured processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and their emotional charge, and it is often used when past events continue to affect current functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Christine will collaborate with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns. That may mean emphasizing skill-building through CBT, integrating EMDR for trauma processing, or drawing on somatic techniques and client-centered listening as needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow ongoing work across transitions, make it possible to access care from home, and support maintaining progress when in-person options are limited. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to online formats while working with clients to find the pacing and tools that feel most helpful.
