Christine D'Avico , LMHC

Christine D'Avico is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 21 years of clinical experience. She has a particular interest in using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and has repeatedly observed its ability to help shift difficult feelings and unhelpful patterns. Christine typically works with higher-functioning adults, supporting people through times of change and transition.

Her practice focuses on a range of concerns including stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-esteem and confidence issues, and depression. She draws on a combination of EMDR, somatic therapy, and cognitive behavioral techniques to address emotional wounds and current symptoms. Christine adapts these methods to match each person's needs rather than applying a single approach to everyone.

Throughout her work she emphasizes practical coping strategies alongside deeper, processing-oriented work so clients can both manage symptoms and pursue meaningful change. As a licensed professional in Florida, she brings clinical experience and a tailored approach to each therapeutic relationship. She looks forward to meeting prospective clients and exploring ways to support their goals.

Online EMDR, Somatic, and CBT Options

Christine often integrates EMDR, somatic therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy into online work. EMDR is a processing-oriented approach that helps people reprocess distressing memories and the feelings tied to them, often used for trauma and difficult emotional reactions. Somatic therapy focuses on how emotions show up in the body and uses awareness of physical sensations and regulation techniques to relieve tension and improve coping. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical skills and strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christine, as an experienced LMHC, works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access therapy from home or other convenient locations, and they allow for ongoing communication and skill practice between sessions when appropriate.
