Christine Whittaker, LMFT

Christine Whittaker is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 11 years of experience. She focuses on helping people move past anxiety and unfamiliar feelings. Her work centers on practical steps that build confidence and create clearer links between thoughts and actions.

Christine aims to create a respectful, non-judgmental space where people can talk through hard moments. She uses everyday language and direct techniques to help clients find solutions. She often focuses on reducing anxiety, anger, and depression while strengthening communication skills.

Her background includes work with individuals and couples on relationship distress, intimacy concerns, and co-dependency. Christine also addresses life transitions such as grief, career changes, and parenting stress. She has experience with issues related to attachment, abandonment, and adoption or foster care situations.

Christine draws on several therapy styles to tailor each plan. She uses cognitive approaches to challenge unhelpful thoughts, client-centered listening to validate experience, and emotionally focused methods to improve connection in relationships. The result is a straightforward, individualized path toward the client’s goals.

People who value clear communication and practical tools often find her approach helpful. She encourages clients to identify strengths, see where patterns break down, and practice new ways of relating. Christine works from Florida and accepts international clients in English.

How her approaches translate to online work

Christine often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thought patterns and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.

She treats therapy as collaborative. Early sessions focus on understanding your goals and trying methods together to see what fits. If something isn’t working, she adjusts the approach so it matches your needs, preferences, and pace.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it possible to work with a licensed professional from Florida even if you live elsewhere. The therapist will discuss practical scheduling and format details when you start so sessions work with your routine.
