About Christopher
Christopher Rhodes is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and parenting concerns. He also supports people coping with intimacy-related issues, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and challenges around self-esteem and life changes. Christopher writes simply and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.
He trained in psychology and completed his master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling.
Background and approach
Christopher draws on several practical approaches in sessions, including client-centered work that follows the person’s goals and cognitive behavioral techniques that target unhelpful thinking and behaviors. His style is direct and collaborative. He helps people identify small, doable steps and practices that fit daily life.
Sessions often focus on building communication skills, managing cravings or impulsivity, and shifting patterns tied to guilt, shame, or isolation. Christopher also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills and motivational interviewing to support emotional regulation and readiness for change. Mindfulness-based strategies are offered when grounding and present-moment focus will help reduce rumination or anxiety.
With eight years of experience, he works with adults on issues such as attachment struggles, codependency, control problems, and navigating sexual concerns like kink or porn-related difficulties. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. People who choose him can expect clear goals, practical exercises, and a steady focus on daily progress rather than quick fixes.

Online approaches that focus on practical change
Client-centered therapy centers sessions on the person's own goals and priorities, allowing the conversation to follow what matters most to each client and building trust through attentive listening. This approach can help people clarify values and set realistic steps toward parenting or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and problems like compulsive behaviors or eating concerns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These tools can help people who struggle with impulsivity, overwhelming feelings, or repeated relationship conflicts.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then adapt methods or combine techniques to fit those aims. This helps create an individualized plan rather than a one-size-fits-all program.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat or texting can support quick check-ins or real-time coping, and messaging helps keep progress between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
