Christine (Chris) Angier , LMHC

Christine (Chris) Angier is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida, holding the LMHC credential which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor. She has built a career working primarily with families, concentrating on behavioral concerns and resolving problems within the family system. Her experience includes addressing a wide range of concerns such as depression, stress and anxiety, parenting challenges, anger and control issues, trust and infidelity concerns, jealousy, time management, and other everyday struggles that affect family functioning.

She has worked with children diagnosed with Autism, ADHD, ODD, and other childhood mental health issues, and many of the families she supported were referred amid Department of Children and Families involvement or abuse investigations. In addition, she spent a decade providing crisis counseling in a psychiatric hospital setting, which has informed her ability to respond to high-intensity situations and safety concerns.

Her counseling style is relaxed yet focused, reflecting a solution-focused orientation that prioritizes identifying the areas of life that most need change and creating practical plans to initiate those changes soon after work begins. Christine respects that each person knows themselves best and centers clients as partners in setting goals and selecting strategies. She approaches clients with compassion, respect, and without judgment, and she welcomes honest feedback throughout the process to support meaningful progress. Christine emphasizes that change is challenging but achievable, and with information and appropriate guidance it can occur more quickly and sustainably than many expect.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Family Care

Christine (Chris) Angier uses approaches that emphasize collaboration and practical change. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where clients are treated as the experts on their lives; this approach helps with self-esteem, relationship dynamics, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing concrete strategies to shift them, which is effective for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress-related concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting clear, achievable goals and building on existing strengths to make measurable progress in a relatively short time, which can be useful for parenting challenges, behavior concerns, and problem-solving within families.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Christine works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies based on ongoing feedback so the plan reflects each client’s priorities and pace.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and for clients living outside the immediate area. These formats make it easier for families and individuals to access licensed professionals from diverse locations, maintain continuity of care, and fit sessions into everyday life while working toward meaningful change.
