About Christen
Christen Thompson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with nine years of professional practice in Florida. She guides people through addiction recovery, trauma, anxiety, and life transitions using a clear, human-centered style. Christen writes simply and listens closely to help people find what matters to them now.
She draws on Existential therapy to help clients look at meaning, choice, and responsibility in their lives. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed work to help people notice painful thoughts, make values-based choices, and repair relationship patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation rather than jargon. Christen has a long personal and clinical history with addiction recovery and started in the addictions field as a behavioral health technician. That background shaped her interest in helping people struggling with substance use, compulsive behaviors, and co-occurring mood concerns.
Her experience includes designing clinical programs and working directly with people in outpatient settings. Clients find straightforward tools for managing stress, mood swings, sleep, and self-esteem. Christen helps people build routines, practice new skills between sessions, and set realistic goals.
She combines talk therapy with creative, experiential options when they fit the person's needs. Her practice supports a wide range of concerns including bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, intimacy issues, and caregiver stress. Sessions are offered in English and she works with clients in Florida and internationally via online formats.
Christen approaches each person with curiosity and steady support while collaborating on a plan that fits their life.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice, and responsibility. It helps people facing big life questions, loss, or a sense of emptiness by inviting honest reflection about values and what matters now.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical skills for noticing painful thoughts and feelings without getting caught in them. It emphasizes taking small, values-driven actions even when emotions are difficult, which can help with anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns.
Attachment-Informed work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. This approach helps people recognize repeating patterns, improve communication, and build more satisfying relationships over time.
Christen sees finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. Adjustments are normal; the plan can evolve based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for full conversations and exercises, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while still maintaining consistent contact with a licensed professional.
