About Christine

Christine D'Avico is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, low self-esteem, life transitions, trauma, and related challenges.

Background and approach

With 21 years of clinical experience as an LMHC, she draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches to support clients through difficult emotions, intimacy-related issues, sleep and parenting concerns, anger, career shifts, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Her work emphasizes tailoring interventions to each person, blending Internal Family Systems with somatic methods, EMDR, and cognitive-behavioral techniques as appropriate.

Christine often supports individuals navigating family-of-origin patterns, communication problems, codependency, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions of life purpose and self-love. She brings particular attention to women’s issues and aging and geriatric concerns alongside broader family problems.

Clients can expect a client-centered stance that prioritizes collaboration and individual pacing. Christine aims to help people build practical coping skills while also attending to deeper emotional material, and she invites prospective clients to explore whether her combination of approaches fits their needs.

Approaches and Accessibility for Online Therapy

Internal Family Systems helps people notice and relate to different inner parts in a curious, nonjudgmental way and can be useful for understanding self-protective reactions and internal conflicts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills to change behaviors and emotions, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets traumatic memories and distressing experiences with structured protocols designed to reduce their intensity over time.

Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore which methods fit their history, goals, and preferences and will adapt techniques over time as needs change. This helps ensure treatment feels tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility concerns. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across life transitions and allow therapists to provide regular support while accommodating different schedules and comfort levels.
