About Christopher
Christopher Rhodes is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people work through stress and anxiety. He welcomes conversations about depression, addictions, grief, and questions about intimacy and self-esteem. Christopher communicates in plain language and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.
He uses a mix of practical strategies and steady listening. Sessions often focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts, building small skills, and trying new behaviors between meetings.
Background and approach
He also brings mindfulness exercises and motivational techniques into the work when they fit the person's goals. Christopher trained in Florida, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Flagler College and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University.
He has eight years of clinical experience working with people facing trauma, substance use concerns, relationship problems, and struggles with motivation or shame. In sessions he aims to be straightforward and respectful. He helps people name patterns like codependency, impulsivity, or chronic guilt and then break them down into manageable steps.
People also bring issues such as attachment questions, sexual concerns including kink and BDSM culture, hoarding, and life transitions. He offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. Christopher believes change starts with one small decision, and he works with each person to set realistic next steps and track progress along the way.
Therapeutic approaches that fit online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person and their goals, offering a listening approach that helps people feel heard and understood while they decide what change looks like. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and coping skills for strong feelings and relationship challenges and can be useful when impulsivity or intense emotions interfere with daily life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to try methods that match their goals, adjusting the plan as needed. Together they decide which combination of techniques makes the most sense for the issues at hand.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and practice new skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a no-camera format is preferred. Chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when written reflection feels most helpful. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work across different locations.
