About Christine

Christine (Chris) Angier is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She brings three years listed experience as an online therapist and a much longer history working directly with families in community and clinical settings. Chris takes a practical approach and aims to help people make tangible changes to their day-to-day life, including sleep and rest concerns.

Chris listens first and then focuses on realistic steps people can take. She describes her style as laid back but intense, asking for honest feedback so work stays on track. She emphasizes collaboration and treats each person as the expert on their own life.

Much of her earlier work involved family behavioral issues and crisis counseling in a psychiatric hospital. That background influenced how she responds to stress, trauma, addictions, grief, and anger. She also has experience with ADHD, parenting challenges, adoption and foster care matters, and blended family dynamics.

In sessions she uses practical, goal-oriented methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with clearer thinking. Solution-Focused Therapy guides quick, doable steps toward change. Narrative Therapy and client-centered techniques help people reframe their stories and find what matters most.

Chris works with a wide range of concerns including relationship and communication problems, sleep difficulties, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and issues tied to aging or attachment. She encourages early, honest conversation about goals so work can start immediately.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, helping people feel heard while they decide what to change. This approach suits concerns about self-esteem, relationship struggles, and life transitions because it centers the person's own goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical tools to change thought patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping with stress because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will choose methods that fit the client's needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is seen.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when a quick review is helpful, and let people meet from wherever they are located. Because session formats are not specified in the profile, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what will work best for your schedule.
