Aetna Therapists in Lutz, FL

Hi, I am Christine Rykiel, LCSW and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker living and working remotely in Florida. I have been a practicing therapist for over 25 years and I find that using a client-centered, solution-focused approach to therapy has allowed my clients to achieve success in making the changes that they want for their physical, mental, and emotional health and well-being. The areas of focus in my practice have included treating clients who present with symptoms of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, autism spectrum, life transitions, grief, trauma, and perfectionism.

Grief can be looked upon as a "club" that one enters involuntarily, yet becomes a life long member. Often time, one "thinks" they have processed losing a loved one, however, during our sessions we will uncover you have not. Grief is also not limited to losing a loved one by death but also going through a separation/divorce, loss of a home or income, or loss of normalcy (as so many of us experienced through the pandemic). My ideal client is one that finds themselves "stuck," "numb", "on auto-pilot", one who finds themselves often irritable, angry, sad or in despair. Let's finally take the steps needed to process your grief and heal
