Her approach is warm, goal-oriented, and respectful of each individualâs pace and priorities.

As an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - she brings experience working with mood disorders, relationship difficulties, addictions, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, issues of guilt and shame, and concerns related to self-worth and communication.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Kristina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize clients' strengths and practical skills. A strengths-based approach focuses on identifying and using personal resources and talents to address problems and build resilience; this can help with issues like low self-worth, communication problems, and motivation for change.

She also integrates trauma-informed work that attends to the impact of past harm while pacing interventions to match a person's comfort and readiness. This approach supports recovery from trauma, post-traumatic stress, and related symptoms by prioritizing safety and gradual processing.

Finding the right combination of techniques is part of the therapeutic process. Kristina works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Kristina offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and clients may also choose live chat or text-based messaging for more frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to access consistent care around work, family, and other commitments while maintaining continuity of treatment with a licensed professional.
