Christopher Rhodes, LMHC

Christopher Rhodes is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and struggles with addiction. He also supports those coping with grief, life transitions including midlife questions, low self-esteem, and burnout from caregiving or high-demand work. Christopher speaks English and brings eight years of clinical experience to his practice.

He trained with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Flagler College and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. Christopher draws from practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and develop skills for managing strong emotions.

Sessions often use client-centered principles, which means conversations follow the person’s priorities and build on strengths. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want to increase motivation for change, such as reducing substance use or improving health habits. Mindfulness-based ideas are woven in to help with focus and managing stress response.

In sessions, Christopher aims to make plans that fit day-to-day life. He helps people identify small, workable steps and practice them between meetings. He also addresses communication patterns, attachment concerns, and sexual or kink-related issues in a direct, nonjudgmental way.

Christopher emphasizes collaboration and clear goals. He invites people to talk through what matters most and to try approaches that match their needs. To begin, he asks clients to describe current struggles and what a better life would look like.

How Christopher uses different approaches online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist helps people set their own goals and builds on strengths to make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and uses practical exercises to shift patterns and improve mood or anxiety.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christopher will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. That might mean trying CBT exercises for negative thinking, adding DBT skills for emotional regulation, or using motivational interviewing when someone wants to change a habit.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and let people use quiet or lower-bandwidth setups if video is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt tools like thought records, skills coaching, and goal-setting for remote meetings so progress continues between sessions.
