About Kristina

Background and approach

She works with issues including anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, addictions, grief, self-esteem, intimacy-related problems, and parenting and family dynamics. Her practice also addresses specific topics such as body image, communication problems, commitment and control issues, and caregiver stress.

Kristina emphasizes an empathetic, respectful, and compassionate approach, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person's unique situation. She draws on client-centered principles to support self-exploration and on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are woven in when clients seek practical goals or need help strengthening motivation for change.

She encourages people to take the first steps toward a more fulfilling life and supports them through planning and problem solving along the way.

Approach-driven online care that fits your goals

Kristina commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when working online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, validation, and the client’s own pace for growth, helping people explore values, strengthen self-esteem, and process emotional concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristina will work with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and the specific challenges they bring, then tailor techniques and pacing so the work feels useful and manageable. She draws from mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused tools as needed to support motivation and practical problem solving.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with remote communication. These formats make it possible to fit therapy into day-to-day life while using evidence-informed approaches to address relationship issues, trauma, mood concerns, ADHD-related challenges, and other areas of focus.
