Christine Petit-Jean

Christine Petit-Jean is a Florida LCSW with six years of clinical social work experience and more than 20 years working in education. She works with adults feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety and people dealing with relationship or parenting strain. Christine also focuses on self-esteem, caregiver stress, communication problems, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose.

She uses straightforward conversation to help people clarify what feels off and what matters next. Sessions are practical and conversational. Christine listens for recurring patterns, helps identify small changes, and supports people as they try new ways of responding.

Her background in education shapes how she explains options and practices new skills. She often breaks larger problems into doable steps and checks progress each session. That approach can feel helpful when daily life gets crowded and solutions need to fit into existing routines.

Christine describes herself as a Christian psychotherapist and brings that perspective when it is relevant to a client's concerns. She emphasizes respect and sensitivity in how she works and adjusts the conversation to match each person's situation.

People come to her when they want help managing stress, repairing communication, sorting parenting challenges, or thinking through what matters next in life. She asks practical questions, suggests small experiments, and reviews what is or is not working as therapy continues.

Approaches and how online sessions work

Christine describes her work as practical and conversational, using evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address stress, relationships, and parenting strain. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new responses in everyday situations; this can help with anxiety and low self-esteem by practicing different ways of reacting. Another approach emphasizes behavioral experiments and small skill-building steps to change interaction patterns and reduce caregiver burden or communication breakdowns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christine will discuss methods with each person and decide together which techniques fit the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions focused and relevant to what feels most pressing.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time, and try shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. Phone sessions can work well when video is difficult, and video lets people use visual cues during discussion. Discuss format preferences during the first appointment so sessions match day-to-day needs.
