About Christel
LMHC in Florida with six years of experience, Christel Brydegaard works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, eating and parenting pressures, anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She lists domestic violence as an additional focus. Christel provides services in English and practices from a collaborative stance.
Christel frames therapy as a practical collaboration. She helps people name what is happening, notice patterns, and try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on clear goals and steady progress rather than vague talk. She adapts techniques to each person’s needs as those goals change.
She has particular experience supporting people who have experienced trauma, including domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. In those sessions she balances safety planning conversations with work on symptoms like anxiety, intrusive memories, and sleep disruption. She also supports people dealing with grief and loss, long-term depression, and burnout related to caregiving or work.
Christel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adjusts interventions as clients show progress. She emphasizes practical skills alongside processing difficult experiences. Short-term strategies for coping are paired with longer-term work on beliefs and relationships.

Approaches used in remote sessions
Christel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide online work. She focuses on trauma-informed methods that help people process traumatic events and reduce distressing symptoms such as intrusive memories and hypervigilance. She also uses skill-based approaches that teach coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and daily stressors - practical tools like grounding, breathing, and behavioral activation.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Christel will discuss a client’s goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try techniques that match those needs. She checks progress and adjusts the plan as therapy moves forward so the methods fit what a person actually needs.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often use remote sessions to maintain consistent appointment routines and to work around work, school, or caregiving obligations.
