About Florence
Prof. Florence Chichester offers help for common and painful concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, relationship strain, parenting pressure, and coping with life changes. She is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) and brings 15 years of experience to her work. Her focus includes trauma, addiction, grief, ADHD, and a wide range of interpersonal and identity issues.
She uses a person-centered style that emphasizes respect and collaboration. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and clearer communication. Florence aims to help people build self-compassion, improve boundaries, and find routines that support better rest and daily functioning.
Her background blends attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioral strategies and emotionally-focused methods. That mix helps when patterns in relationships or habits interfere with sleep, mood, or focus. She also draws on existential conversations about meaning when clients face big life shifts.
Florence frames therapy as a process of small changes and repeated practice. She often works on routines, thought patterns, and relationship moments that affect wellbeing. Conversations are straightforward and geared toward skills people can try between sessions.
People who want to start work on sleeping and resting better will find focused attention on daily habits and relationship factors that can interfere with rest. Her approach pairs practical tools with a gentle, explanatory style to make changes manageable over time.
Approaches that inform online work and sleep support
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationship patterns shape feelings and sleep. It helps people notice how closeness, trust, or distance affect rest and emotional safety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, behaviors, and sleep habits. It offers concrete techniques to change unhelpful thinking and build routines that improve rest. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and change painful emotional cycles in relationships that can fuel anxiety or sleepless nights.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and daily life. That choice can shift as progress is made and new priorities arise.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. It also lets therapists and clients try behavioral and sleep-focused strategies together while noting how daily routines are going, so changes can be adjusted to real life.
