About Florence
Prof. Florence Chichester is a New York-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of experience. She sees people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulty, anger, parenting strain, and related life changes. She also works with concerns such as addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Her practical approach centers on clear conversation and steady problem-solving. She listens to what is happening day to day and helps people spot patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions focus on learning small, usable skills for communication, emotion regulation, and coping with stress.
Florence combines several approaches to fit the problem at hand. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings. She uses client-centered work to keep the client’s goals front and center. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
She routinely addresses practical life issues such as workplace stress, parenting challenges, caregiver strain, and career transitions. She also brings experience supporting people dealing with chronic illness, body-image concerns, and the effects of adoption or abandonment.
Sessions are conducted in English from her New York practice. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
Clinical approaches and how online sessions work
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships influence feelings and reactions. It can help people who notice patterns in how they connect, argue, or withdraw from others. Client-centered therapy keeps the session focused on the person’s goals and priorities. The therapist follows the client’s lead while offering reflection and gentle guidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it teaches concrete skills to reframe unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as sessions progress.
If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use different methods online, and sessions can focus on communication skills, emotion regulation practice, and behavior-change homework just as they would in person.
