About Christopher
Christopher Rhodes is a Florida LMHC with eight years of clinical experience. He supports people who are coping with anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and issues tied to self-esteem and motivation.
He uses clear, direct conversation to help people notice patterns that make life harder. Sessions focus on practical steps and skill building rather than long theory talks. Christopher draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and on dialectical behavior strategies to improve emotion regulation.
Mindfulness practices are offered in small, doable exercises that people can apply between sessions. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants to increase readiness for change or reduce substance use. Client-centered methods keep the focus on what the person wants to address first.
Christopher has worked with people dealing with grief, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and a range of sexual and relationship issues including kink and alternative sex cultures. He also helps with codependency, communication problems, infidelity, and feelings of isolation or purposelessness.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Expect straightforward feedback, homework that relates to daily life, and checking in on progress over time. For people who find talking about uncomfortable topics difficult, he works at a steady pace and breaks tasks into manageable steps.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Christopher commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in practical ways during sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and testing thoughts that lead to unhelpful behavior and then practicing new thinking and actions. DBT teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. Sessions move at a pace that feels manageable while keeping targeted goals in view.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, require less travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in everyday environments and bring real-life situations into discussion more readily than sporadic in-person visits.
