About Christen
Christen Thompson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She draws on years of lived recovery and nearly a decade of formal counseling experience to help people find more balance and meaning in daily life. Christen uses practical, down-to-earth approaches in sessions.
She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, addiction-related concerns, and relationship and intimacy questions. She also supports those coping with grief, career changes, parenting strains, sleep and eating concerns, and neurodivergent needs such as ADHD and autism spectrum issues.
Background and approach
Her history includes long-term recovery from cocaine addiction and nearly two decades working in behavioral health settings. That background shaped her interest in addiction work and in developing clinical programs. She has experience leading substance-use treatment programs and supporting individuals in outpatient settings.
Christen blends human-centered conversation with techniques from cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based therapies. She pays attention to how attachment patterns and past experiences affect present choices. Sessions tend to emphasize practical skills, clear goals, and steady personal insight.
She offers straightforward guidance and focuses on building coping skills people can use between sessions. Christen works with adults on a range of life challenges and aims to help them find greater stability and agency.

Online support
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Christen incorporates the Gottman Method alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in an online context. The Gottman Method focuses on practical communication skills, identifying interaction patterns, and building rituals that support healthier connections. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then commit to actions that align with their values.She approaches choice of method collaboratively. Early sessions include conversation about what matters to the person, their goals, and how they prefer to work. Together the client and Christen decide which approaches to use and adjust the plan as progress and needs change.
Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls let people work through emotion and nonverbal cues during longer sessions. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers audio only. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short check-ins, daily skill practice, or timely support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain regular contact during recovery and life transitions.
