About Christine
Christine Shephard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with seven years of practice. She helps people dealing with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, motivation problems, and life changes. Christine also works with compassion fatigue and related stress.
She uses clear, practical conversation to identify what feels stuck and what matters most. Sessions focus on noticing thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, then trying small changes to test what helps. Christine draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to make those steps concrete and manageable.
Her sessions often include mindfulness skills to calm distress and increase attention to the present moment. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools can be used for emotion regulation and coping when feelings run high. Client-centered ideas guide the pace - Christine listens first and then offers options participants can try between meetings.
She pays attention to both short-term problems and longer patterns that keep returning. That means practical coping for immediate stress and work on values or goals that matter across time. Christine also brings experience supporting people facing grief, relationship strain, sleep problems, and addiction-related concerns.
People who reach out can expect straightforward, goal-focused conversations. Christine helps identify small, doable steps and reviews what changes or obstacles come up. The focus is on what works in daily life and building skills that make handling anger, stress, and difficult moments easier over time.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that align with what matters. It helps when frustration or resentful thinking gets in the way of daily goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and tests new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus.Finding the right approach is something to decide together. The therapist will talk about what you want to change, try a method for a few sessions, and adjust based on what actually helps. This collaborative process keeps the work practical and goal oriented rather than one-size-fits-all.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work or caregiving because they remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Others use online meetings to practice skills in the context of daily life. The emphasis is on making therapy usable within everyday routines and on choosing methods that match your goals and schedule.
