About Christen
Christen Thompson, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), is licensed in Florida and has nine years of professional experience. She focuses on addictions, trauma and abuse, mood and anxiety concerns, and relationship and intimacy issues. Christen describes her work as grounded in practical talk therapy and approaches that help people notice patterns and make different choices.
Christen draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy in her sessions. She uses these methods to address substance use, coping with stress, mood instability, and problems with self-esteem and boundaries. Her practice includes work on grief, career strain, parenting challenges, and issues tied to sexual expression and kink.
She began in the addictions field in 2004 and has experience delivering clinical programs and supervising teams. That background informed her role designing a clinical curriculum for first responders and running a substance abuse intensive outpatient program. Those roles shaped how she structures treatment and measures progress.
Christen describes recovery from her own past substance use as an influence on her decision to become a clinician. She emphasizes steady self-awareness and practical skill building in sessions. Clients meet a therapist who focuses on concrete steps and coping tools.

How clinical approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based actions and can help with substance use, anxiety, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses structured techniques to change unhelpful thinking and to build coping skills for depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating concerns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for mood instability, anger, and relationship or intimacy-related struggles.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, symptoms, and preferences with clients and collaborate to select methods that fit. That process may combine elements from multiple approaches to address specific problems.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to teach skills, review progress, and practice new behaviors in everyday life.
