Kristina Komori, LMFT

Kristina Komori is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Orange County who provides telehealth services to clients across California. With eight years of clinical experience, she works with adolescents and adults to address anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and concerns around confidence and self-esteem.

Kristina relies on evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Narrative Therapy to help clients develop practical skills, shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and create more adaptive stories about their lives. LMFT stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, indicating specialized training in relational and individual mental health care.

She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring dialogue and treatment plans to match unique needs and goals. Her style is often a good fit for adolescents and young adults facing life transitions or heightened stress that may show up as anxiety or low mood. Kristina emphasizes collaboration in setting goals and working toward change, viewing her role as a partner who supports clients through the courageous step of seeking a more fulfilling and happier life.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapy

Kristina Komori commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, a practical approach often used for anxiety and stress. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for managing intense feelings and improving relationships. Narrative Therapy is another tool she applies to help clients reframe personal stories and separate themselves from limiting labels.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kristina works collaboratively with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adjusts methods as progress unfolds so the treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Offering therapy online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging increases flexibility and accessibility for clients across California. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose a communication style that feels most comfortable while working with a licensed professional.
