About Christopher
Christopher Rhodes is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida who helps people address stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy-related difficulties, and trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
He works with clients experiencing relationship and family challenges, issues around sexual expression and alternative sexual cultures, and struggles with self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes. With eight years of clinical experience, Christopher draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person's situation.
His approach combines practical skills and empathic listening to create a collaborative environment where clients can explore patterns, challenge unhelpful thinking, and build new coping strategies. Christopher integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques alongside client-centered and motivational interviewing strategies, adapting interventions to focus on communication, impulse control, and recovery from addictive behaviors.
He also incorporates mindfulness practices when helpful to manage distress and improve emotional regulation. Christopher trained in psychology and clinical mental health counseling and emphasizes a strengths-based stance that encourages small, sustainable changes.
He welcomes clients who are ready to work toward clearer goals, healthier habits, and improved well-being, and supports them through the practical steps of change.
Practical approaches for online healing and growth
Christopher frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, a practical approach that often targets anxiety, depression, and motivation issues. He also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship conflict. Finally, client-centered methods are used to ensure conversations remain focused on each person's values and goals while building a respectful therapeutic relationship.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work; Christopher partners with clients to explore what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so skills-building, insight work, or motivational support can be emphasized depending on what would be most helpful.
Online therapy with Christopher is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work during life transitions, and use different formats for skill practice and check-ins depending on what the client prefers.
