About Christopher
Christopher Rhodes is a Florida LMHC with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues around guilt and shame. He offers practical, talk-based care in English and accepts international clients.
Rhodes focuses on helping people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and reactions. He uses clear, problem-focused methods to address things like negative self-talk, low self-esteem, and challenges with motivation. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with room to discuss emotions and past events when that helps.
He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Client-centered techniques help people feel heard while they try new ways of responding to old problems.
Christopher also applies motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas when someone needs to build momentum or tackle a specific change, such as reducing substance use or improving communication. He has worked with concerns including sexual dissatisfaction, pornography-related problems, and issues connected to alternative sex culture.
He earned a Bachelor of Psychology from Flagler College and a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University. Many clients come with worries tied to family conflict, attachment problems, or major life changes, and he helps them take practical steps forward.

Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative; the therapist will work with the client to set goals and try approaches that match those goals and preferences.
