About Christopher
Christopher Rhodes is a Florida LMHC with eight years of clinical experience. He speaks English and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, parenting strain, intimacy-related concerns, grief, and trauma. He also addresses issues related to sexual behavior, LGBT concerns, and self-esteem.
Christopher explains things plainly in session. He listens first, then helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions often include looking at thoughts and behaviors, building practical skills, and setting short goals clients can try between meetings.
His background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Flagler College and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. That training informs a clinical style that mixes client-centered conversation with structured, skills-based work.
Common tools he uses include elements of cognitive behavioral work to challenge unhelpful thinking, dialectical behavior techniques for managing intense emotion, and motivational interviewing to increase readiness for change. He also draws on mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.
People who come for help may work on communication problems, codependency, attachment concerns, coping with life changes, or issues around intimacy and sexual preferences. Christopher aims to make sessions practical and focused, so people leave with clear next steps they can try between appointments.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says. It helps when someone needs to sort out feelings and feel heard before moving to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling conflict more calmly.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Christopher will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. He combines conversational, skills-based, and motivational strategies so clients can try small changes between sessions and then review what worked.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also mean using brief skill practices or worksheets between appointments to keep progress moving.
