About Christine
Christine D'Avico is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 21 years of clinical experience. She works with higher-functioning adults who are handling stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, low self-esteem, life changes, anger, and depression.
She often uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, to help shift difficult feelings and patterns. She also draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, somatic therapy, and trauma-focused ideas. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as in-session skills.
Christine prefers straightforward collaboration. She listens for what is getting in the way of calmer reactions, then offers techniques to reduce reactivity and rebuild confidence. That can mean working on thoughts and behaviors, noticing physical tension, or processing past events that keep showing up in current life.
Her approach is paced to the person. Some work emphasizes skill-building for handling anger and stress in the moment. Other work moves into deeper processing for trauma and painful memories when the client is ready.
She helps people who want clearer communication, fewer explosive responses, or relief from persistent worry and resentment. Christine uses methods that fit the client’s goals and adjusts the mix as progress unfolds.
Therapeutic approaches used online and how they help
Christine commonly uses EMDR to help people process distressing memories and reduce their hold on current mood and reactions. EMDR involves guided attention while working with difficult images or emotions and can be useful when past events link to current anger or anxiety.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. CBT helps with daily anger triggers, workplace frustration, and habits that keep resentment alive.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with the client about goals, test approaches, and adjust as needed. The plan can combine EMDR, CBT, and somatic techniques depending on how the client responds.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, require less travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can also use phone or video in different ways to match energy levels, bandwidth, and the client’s preference for working with body-based or talk-focused methods.
