About Kristina

Recognizing that seeking change requires courage, she focuses on empowering clients as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life. Her practice emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies tailored to the client’s goals, helping them build coping skills and greater self-understanding.

Evidence-based approaches and online support

Cognitive-behavioral strategies focus on identifying the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and teaching practical tools to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. These techniques help people develop skills they can apply in daily life to manage difficult feelings and change unhelpful patterns. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative method that helps clients explore and strengthen their own motivation for change, particularly useful for addressing addictions and goal-directed behavior. A trauma-informed approach recognizes the impact of trauma and centers safety, choice, and empowerment while working to process traumatic experiences and reduce their effects.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and the therapist will work together with each client to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process helps shape a personalized plan and allows adjustments over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and let clients connect from locations that work for them. Working with licensed professionals through these formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and integrate therapeutic work into a busy life.
