About Kristine
Kristine Bartos is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida who frames her work around helping people understand the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Background and approach
She emphasizes cognitive behavioral ideas as a central part of her practice, helping clients map their own patterns and develop practical skills to change unhelpful cycles. That emphasis on skill building is balanced with psychodynamic perspectives when exploring formative experiences that continue to shape feelings and reactions.
Her style is described as warm and encouraging while remaining goal- and action-oriented, blending a welcoming therapeutic relationship with structured skill acquisition. Kristine brings mindfulness-informed practices and an interest in neuropsychology into sessions when helpful, and she offers crisis intervention experience from medical settings.
With three years of professional experience, she aims to tailor interventions to each person's story and circumstances rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Kristine works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, career questions, and compassion fatigue.
She invites prospective clients to consider what matters most to them and to explore a collaborative path forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online delivery
Kristine frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change the interactions between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support values-driven action and greater psychological flexibility by helping clients notice difficult thoughts and commit to meaningful behavior changes.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process; the therapist works with each person to determine which techniques and frameworks match their goals, preferences, and needs, and adjusts strategies as the work progresses. That partnership helps create a plan that combines immediate coping skills with longer-term insight work.
Online sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible for people balancing work and family obligations. These formats allow for consistent access to a licensed professional and make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions while using the therapeutic approaches described above.
