About Christel
Christel Brydegaard is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She takes a collaborative approach and focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and life disruptions. Christel is comfortable addressing anger and related concerns alongside stress, anxiety, grief, and depression.
She works with people who have experienced trauma, including domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Her practice also supports those coping with relationship strain, changes in parenting, eating concerns, low self-esteem, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to help clients name problems, reduce overwhelming feelings, and build clearer ways to cope. Christel adapts her methods to each person. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the client's needs and goals.
Treatment steps are developed together so progress can be tracked and adjusted when needed. With six years of experience, she brings steady, practical support to people during difficult times. Christel emphasizes an open-minded, nonjudgmental style and encourages honest conversation about what is working and what is not.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges the courage that requires. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions once they choose to start therapy. The aim is to create manageable change and clearer direction over time.

Everything Christel lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Christel's practice.
Online approaches that address anger and trauma
Christel draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce distress and build coping skills. One approach focuses on teaching practical emotion regulation skills to help people notice triggers, reduce intense reactions, and choose safer responses when anger rises. This approach is useful for everyday anger and strong stress reactions.Another approach centers on trauma-informed care that helps people process traumatic events and their effects. It supports people who have experienced domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking by helping them make sense of what happened and regain a sense of control over daily life.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Christel will work collaboratively to decide which techniques make the most sense based on a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress is made and as priorities shift.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow for a face-to-face connection when that feels important. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support possible between longer sessions. These options help people access care in a way that fits their schedule and comfort.
