About Christen
Christen Thompson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She brings nine years of professional counseling experience and a long personal recovery story that informs her approach. Christen focuses on building safety and connection so people can start to feel more present and able to change.
Christen uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand how past relationships shape current reactions. She blends that with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered care to keep sessions grounded and practical.
Background and approach
People can expect clear, everyday conversation about what causes pain and what helps. Her background includes substantial work in addiction treatment and program development. That experience guides her work with addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and grief.
She also supports concerns related to intimacy, self-esteem, body image, and caregiver stress. Christen favors practical skills alongside deeper exploration. She teaches strategies from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies to manage mood, reduce distress, and improve daily functioning.
At the same time she pays attention to patterns of attachment that affect relationships and self-worth. Sessions are held using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, including international clients. Costs vary with location and use a cancellable subscription.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a time that fits their needs.

Online support
How attachment work and skills translate to online care
Christen draws on attachment-based ideas to help people notice patterns born in past relationships and how those patterns show up now. Attachment work focuses on relationship dynamics, emotional safety, and rebuilding trust in oneself and others, which can help with intimacy, abandonment fears, and connection difficulties.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify values and take committed actions even when feelings are difficult. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes because it teaches practical ways to move toward what matters. Client-centered therapy is another core part of her approach, emphasizing listening, empathy, and helping people lead the conversation about their goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christen will help a person try methods and notice what fits, adjusting methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. This means therapy can blend attachment work with ACT or skills from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches as needed.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow fuller interaction and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging works for quick reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while fitting sessions into a busy life.
