About Christine
Christine Williams-Kelly is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 17 years of clinical experience guiding people through a wide range of life challenges.
Background and approach
She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, parenting issues, substance-related problems, relationship and family dynamics, grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar disorder, career questions, compassion fatigue, and more.
Her practice also addresses specific areas including abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, aging and geriatric issues, autism spectrum concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, communication problems, and related co-morbid conditions. Her therapeutic stance emphasizes respect for each person’s background and lived experience while helping clients build coping skills and self-understanding.
She draws on several well-established approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered methods, dialectical behavior tools, emotionally-focused strategies, and mindfulness practices to tailor care to individual needs. Christine prioritizes collaborative work that strengthens resilience, improves communication, and supports long-term change.
Clients who choose her practice can expect a focus on practical strategies alongside reflective exploration, with attention to cultural responsiveness and empowerment. She aims to help people reduce distress, enhance self-esteem, and create more functional patterns for navigating relationships and life transitions.
Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Care
Christine blends cognitive behavioral strategies and client-centered techniques to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily challenges. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore values and choices while the therapist offers support and clarification.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey; Christine partners with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and situations. She adapts techniques from CBT, client-centered work, DBT, EFT, and mindfulness as needed, and she will help clients decide whether a skills-focused plan or a more exploratory process is most appropriate.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which supports flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats allow clients to engage from different locations and to use the communication mode that best matches their needs while working with a licensed professional to pursue practical change and emotional growth.
