Christine (Chris) Angier

Christine (Chris) Angier is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida with 3 years of clinical experience. She has focused much of her work with families, addressing behavioral concerns and helping family systems find practical ways to resolve conflicts and improve functioning.

Her practice covers a wide range of issues including depression, stress and anxiety, parenting challenges, anger and control concerns, relationship problems such as trust and infidelity, jealousy, time management, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep disturbances, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She has also worked with families caring for children with Autism, ADHD, ODD, and other childhood mental health needs, and has experience with families who were referred due to Department of Children and Families involvement or abuse reports under investigation. In addition, she has experience providing crisis counseling in a psychiatric hospital setting.

Chris describes her counseling approach as laid back but intense and works from a solution-focused framework. She concentrates on identifying the areas of life that most need change and developing concrete plans to begin those changes soon after therapy begins. She views each person as the expert on themselves and collaborates with clients to determine the best path to their goals. She approaches clients with compassion, respect, and without judgment, and asks for honest feedback during the therapeutic process to support optimal outcomes.

Taking the first step can feel difficult, and Chris encourages anyone exploring therapist profiles to acknowledge that beginning the process is already progress toward a more satisfying life. She reminds clients that change can be made more manageable with appropriate guidance and that new behaviors can become more automatic over time - studies suggest a new behavior takes about 66 days on average to become habitual. There is hope and a path forward with the right information and support.
