About Christine
Christine Shephard is a Florida licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with seven years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and life transitions. She works with people facing addiction, compassion fatigue, bipolar concerns, and ADHD.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first and then helps clients set small, manageable goals. Sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and build skills that fit day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Christine uses a mix of therapies to match each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take steps toward them.
Mindfulness and dialectical strategies offer tools to regulate emotions and tolerate distress. She has worked with adults dealing with grief, caregiving stress, chronic illness, cancer-related concerns, and issues that come with aging. Christine also supports people navigating relationship problems, codependency, communication struggles, divorce, and commitment questions.
In sessions she keeps language simple and practical. People can expect concrete coping strategies, short-term skill building, and ongoing coaching toward goals. The focus is on what helps someone function better between sessions and feel more in control over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, anger, and life transitions where someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to change behavior and mood. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing strong emotions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to try strategies, see what fits, and adjust methods based on goals and preferences. Sessions can blend ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and dialectical skills as needed to build a plan that feels practical and doable.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for teaching skills and working through exercises. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and get real-time coaching or reminders. These options help therapy fit into busy days and different routines.
