Christopher Rhodes

Christopher Rhodes is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (FL LMHC) with eight years of clinical experience. He helps people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, or coping with big life changes. He also supports those working through issues such as depression, substance use concerns, intimacy and sexual questions, grief, and struggles around self-esteem and motivation.

Christopher uses practical, talk-based methods in sessions. He draws on client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters to each person. He layers in cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts. He also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to build coping skills and strengthen decision-making.

In the therapy room he focuses on concrete steps people can try between sessions. That may include short behavioral experiments, skill-building exercises, or communication practice aimed at improving relationships and daily functioning. Sessions often target patterns such as codependency, impulsivity, control issues, or attachment concerns that get in the way of goals like clearer priorities or better intimacy.

Christopher has worked with people facing trauma, addiction, eating concerns, and complicated relationship matters including infidelity and alternative-sex-culture issues. He also helps clients who are questioning life purpose and what comes next after major changes.

He speaks English and accepts international clients. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session options and any details that matter to them.

How Christopher integrates therapeutic methods in online work

Christopher often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy in session. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, reflecting, and building a collaborative plan so the person guides the topics and goals.

He also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when needed to teach practical strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. Those skills are useful for people dealing with impulsivity, intense emotions, or relationship conflicts. Christopher treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process and will work with each person to determine which methods fit their needs and preferences.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when days are busy. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and client-centered work to remote sessions using talk and skills practice, and Christopher will discuss how to shape sessions to your schedule and goals.
