About Christen
Christen Thompson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who focuses on practical, real-world help. She draws on nine years of professional experience to help people facing addiction, anger, anxiety, and other life challenges. Christen writes and speaks plainly about recovery and growth so people can make steady progress.
Her approach centers on combining acceptance and commitment principles with cognitive and client-centered techniques. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, workable skills, and steady checking in on what is and isn’t helping.
Background and approach
She encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small steps toward the life they want. Christen has long experience in addiction work and has supported people through grief, trauma, mood concerns, and stress. She also helps people navigate career strain, relationship difficulties, and struggles with self-esteem and intimacy.
Her clinical background includes work with diverse challenges such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, chronic illness, and issues around identity and sexuality. People can expect direct, compassionate conversation and tools they can try between sessions. Christen prefers to blend practical skills training with a respectful, client-centered tone.
She helps people set realistic steps, track progress, and adjust plans when needed. Her practice offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and Christen works with clients both in Florida and internationally in English.

Therapeutic approaches that fit online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings, then taking values-based actions. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and helping people move toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful cycles, which can help with depression, anxiety, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports self-directed growth.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christen will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. Together they decide which methods to try, adjust plans as progress is tracked, and pick techniques that fit the person’s life and comfort level.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet: video calls for full, face-to-face conversation; phone sessions when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in works best; and live chat or text-based messaging for short updates or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or busy schedules and let people keep regular momentum on their goals.
