About Florence
Prof. Florence Chichester helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, depression, or difficult relationship patterns. She is a licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of practice based in New York.
Her work also covers grief, addiction, parenting strain, and career or life transitions. She takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. Sessions aim to clarify what is most troubling and build practical ways to cope.
Clients can expect calm, direct conversation and tools they can use between appointments.
Background and approach
Florence blends several approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds affect current relationships. She uses cognitive behavioral methods to spot unhelpful thinking and change behavior.
Emotionally-focused and client-centered perspectives guide how feelings are explored in the room. Her style is collaborative. She listens for patterns, suggests experiments to try in daily life, and checks in about what is and isn't working.
Parents and people dealing with family stress can get help managing anger, communication problems, and caregiver strain. Florence has a long record of working with trauma, loss, and major life changes. She helps people strengthen self-esteem and find clearer direction when facing transitions.
Her goal is steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional responses; online sessions use discussion and reflective questions to help people see patterns and try different ways of relating. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client's perspective, with the therapist offering empathic listening and gentle guidance to support personal growth and self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, then teaches concrete skills and experiments to change behavior and mood, which translate well to online homework and between-session practice.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision is revisited as work progresses so the plan can shift if something isn’t helping.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and watching nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are good for shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, and daily routines while keeping the focus on practical change.
