About Christine

Christine Shephard is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida who blends evidence-based methods with a supportive, client-centered stance. She draws on seven years of clinical experience to help people manage depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, motivation challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Christine emphasizes practical strategies alongside emotional support to help clients move toward clearer values and daily functioning. Her practice also addresses compassion fatigue and a broad range of concerns including stress, relationship difficulties, grief, sleep problems, anger, bipolar mood issues, addictions, and ADHD.

Additional focus areas include caregiving strain, chronic illness and pain, aging and geriatric matters, cancer-related concerns, end-of-life and hospice issues, and themes such as codependency, control issues, and isolation. Christine strives to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and take courageous steps toward greater well-being.

Integrating evidence-based approaches in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present; it is often useful for stress, transitions, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbance. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental attention to internal experience, which can support emotion regulation and reduce reactivity in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christine works with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the specific challenges they bring to therapy, adjusting strategies over time as progress and needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and flexibility. These options make it easier to schedule consistent appointments around work, caregiving, and other life demands while maintaining regular therapeutic momentum with a licensed professional.
