Christen Thompson

Christen Thompson, LMHC, offers a practical, human-centered approach to therapy. She draws on nearly a decade of licensed practice and long personal experience with recovery to help people navigate major life shifts. Christen keeps sessions straightforward and grounded so people can focus on next steps rather than getting lost in jargon.

She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, client-centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. These methods are adapted to each person’s needs to address things like addiction, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Christen listens for what matters most to each person and builds clear tools from there.

Christen’s background includes many years working in addiction treatment and designing programs for first responders. That experience shaped her skill at handling stress, burnout, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, relationship concerns, parenting stress, sleep and eating difficulties, and challenges related to ADHD and bipolar mood patterns.

Clients can expect a direct but warm style that focuses on practical strategies and increased self-awareness. Christen honors each person’s pace and helps set achievable goals. Her practice is based in Florida and she communicates in English.

Therapeutic approaches online and what they offer

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts while focusing on personal values and committed action. It can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, and life transitions by clarifying what matters most and taking steps toward it. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and emotion regulation; it can help with intimacy issues, relationship concerns, and patterns that repeat across relationships.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they choose strategies and adjust them as progress is made so therapy matches real life needs.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible for international clients to connect with licensed professionals in Florida. The focus online is the same as in-person: building skills, increasing self-awareness, and creating practical steps for coping with life changes and recovery.
