About Florence
Prof. Florence Chichester is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and major life changes. She brings 15 years of clinical experience in New York to work with issues such as grief, addiction, trauma, intimacy struggles, parenting strain, and ADHD. Her practice also attends to adoption and foster care needs among many focus areas.
Florence uses a straightforward, person-centered style. Sessions prioritize clear goals, practical skills, and improved communication. She listens for patterns in relationships and daily life, then helps people try different ways of responding. The tone is collaborative and down to earth.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to trace how early bonds affect present relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and change unhelpful routines. Emotionally-focused methods are part of the work when relationship feelings need direct attention.
Florence blends short-term problem solving with deeper exploration of meaning and values. She helps people build coping skills for day-to-day stress while also addressing longer-standing patterns. Expect a mix of practical exercises, conversational reflection, and steps you can try between sessions.
She works in English and practices in New York as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor. To start, follow the site's Start Therapy process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How key approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships. Online sessions using this approach often focus on identifying patterns in close relationships and practicing new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In teletherapy this usually means identifying unhelpful thinking, trying behavioral experiments, and using short between-session exercises to shift routines. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on mapping emotional responses in relationships and helping people express core feelings more clearly to improve connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match goals, needs, and comfort level. That decision can change over time as progress and new priorities emerge.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins on tough days, and reduce travel time. They also let people use video or phone depending on preference and energy for a given session. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and communication practice to work well in virtual settings.
