About Christine
Christine Shephard is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida who uses a practical, person-centered approach to help people feel steadier in their daily lives. She listens without judgment and helps people talk through what matters most to them. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at making the first steps feel manageable.
She blends client-centered therapy with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. That means sessions focus on what a person is struggling with now, spotting patterns that get in the way, and practicing small skills to change how they respond.
Background and approach
Christine also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when they fit a person's goals. Her work addresses common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing career transitions, relationship strain, grief, sleep problems, anger, and addiction-related issues.
Christine has experience helping people cope with compassion fatigue and with attention-related challenges like ADHD. Additional areas she helps with include caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, aging and geriatric issues, cancer-related concerns, and end-of-life or hospice conversations. She offers practical skills for communication problems, codependency, guilt and shame, and navigating divorce or separation.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Christine aims to meet each person where they are, build clear steps forward, and adjust the plan as needs change. Her approach is collaborative and focused on real-life improvements.

Online support
Approach-driven care through online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts without fighting them and clarify what matters most. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and making values-based changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and day-to-day needs. That process may include trying techniques from different approaches and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video fits in-depth conversations and skill practice, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between appointments.
