Christine (Chris) Angier, LMHC

Christine (Chris) Angier is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with three years of experience listed on this profile. She focuses on practical change and helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, addictions, trauma, grief, sleep problems, anger, and low self-esteem. Her approach aims to make progress early and to keep work grounded in what matters most to each person.

Chris describes her counseling style as laid back but intense. She treats clients as the expert on their own lives and prefers to work toward specific, achievable goals. She asks for honest feedback during the process so adjustments can be made and progress can continue.

Her background includes many years of work with families and experience in crisis counseling in a psychiatric hospital. That work exposed her to a wide range of issues such as parenting and behavioral challenges, attachment and adoption concerns, impulsivity, codependency, and situations involving domestic violence or child welfare investigation.

In sessions she uses solutions-focused techniques to identify which parts of life need the most change and then builds a clear plan to get there. She also draws on client-centered methods to stay respectful and nonjudgmental, and on cognitive behavioral and narrative ideas when those tools fit the situation.

Chris supports people who are navigating big life shifts, dealing with grief or trauma, or trying to manage addictive behaviors. She invites straightforward conversation and aims to help people find practical steps that can be tried between meetings.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to talk about relationship, parenting, or identity concerns and to decide their own next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It offers practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, change unhelpful habits, and address addictive patterns with homework and short experiments between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as they learn what helps most.

The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let clients use tools like worksheets and written reflections between sessions to keep progress moving.
