About Christel

Christel Brydegaard is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who centers her work on collaborative, evidence-based care tailored to each person’s needs.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of therapeutic techniques to help clients process difficult emotions and develop practical strategies for managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the lasting effects of trauma. Christel emphasizes a partnership model in which clients' goals and progress guide the interventions she selects.

With six years of professional experience, she has particular experience addressing trauma related to domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking, and also supports people facing relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, eating and self-esteem issues, anger, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Her approach is open-minded and nonjudgmental, focused on creating a space where exploration and growth are possible.

She encourages those taking the first step toward therapy and works to adapt treatment as needs change over time.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Christel uses established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques adapted to online work. Cognitive-behavioral strategies help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, supporting relief from anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. Trauma-focused methods offer structured ways to process traumatic memories and reduce ongoing trauma responses, which can be helpful for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking.

Choosing the best therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will explore goals, preferences, and responses to different interventions and adjust the plan as progress is made, ensuring treatment remains aligned with the client's needs.

Online therapy with Christel is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow people to attend sessions from different locations, fit care into busy schedules, and continue work between appointments using messaging options for brief check-ins or reflections.
