About Christine
Christine Whittaker is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people move past anxiety and overwhelming feelings toward clearer decisions and more confidence. Her work aims to find practical steps people can use day to day to feel steadier and more in control.
She offers straightforward, compassionate care and uses empathy to create a non-judgmental space. Christine helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behavior and then tries small, concrete changes that fit each person’s life.
Background and approach
She encourages clients to try things and see what works rather than relying on theory alone. Her background includes work with relationship concerns, intimacy and sexuality, grief, trauma and abuse, and stress-related problems. She also supports people facing career pressures, parenting challenges, adoption and foster care issues, caregiving stress, and chronic health concerns.
Many clients seek help with communication problems, commitment worries, and rebuilding after breakups. Christine draws on several approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and the Gottman Method to shape sessions. She tailors these methods to each person, focusing on practical tools and clearer communication.
Sessions aim to strengthen relationships or help individuals feel less stuck. She offers online options as well as in-person work in Florida. Christine works with English-speaking clients and accepts international clients for remote sessions.
Her style is calm, direct, and collaborative, and she prioritizes helping people find realistic, lasting changes.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Christine uses the Gottman Method to focus on communication and trust-building in relationships, helping partners learn practical skills to resolve conflict and reconnect. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people clarify values, accept difficult feelings, and take action toward meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy provides a supportive, non-judgmental space where the therapist listens and follows the client's pace to encourage self-directed change.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine works with each person to match an approach to their needs and goals. She may combine elements from different models so therapy fits the client’s situation rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you work face to face from wherever you are, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat works well for short check-ins or when you need more frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, parenting, or caregiving schedules while still using structured techniques and exercises discussed in sessions.
