About Christine
Christine Shephard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with seven years of professional practice. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, motivation struggles, and coping with life changes. She also brings experience addressing compassion fatigue and stress related to work and caregiving.
She uses straightforward, practical conversation to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on clarifying goals, building daily skills, and tracking small changes that make life easier. Christine draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral methods and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses.
Her background includes work with people dealing with grief, relationship strain, chronic illness, and the challenges that come with aging and caregiving. She also supports concerns such as sleep problems, anger, addiction, and adjustment after separation or bereavement. The aim is problem-focused work that fits everyday life demands, such as family, work, and health.
In sessions she uses client-centered techniques to listen and reflect what matters to the person in front of her. She may introduce ACT ideas to help people commit to valued actions when emotions get in the way. DBT-informed skills are available for managing strong emotions and improving communication.
Practical matters like balancing work and care responsibilities, coping with chronic pain or illness, and rebuilding motivation are common topics. Christine helps people set realistic steps, practice new habits between sessions, and reassess progress over time.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Christine commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in straightforward ways. ACT helps pinpoint values and small actions someone can take even when feelings are intense. CBT focuses on noticing thought patterns and testing practical changes in daily routines.She also relies on client-centered listening and mindfulness practices to slow down strong emotions and improve focus. These approaches are taught step by step and practiced between sessions so skills can be used in real situations. Determining which method fits best is a collaborative process based on each person’s goals and preferences.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives - they can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or make it easier to keep appointments around caregiving duties. The therapist will work with each person to arrange session timing and a plan that matches daily responsibilities.
