She pays particular attention to family of origin concerns, blended family stress, caregiver burnout, and challenges connected to addiction and codependency.

Approach-driven online care that fits your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and replacing them with more helpful habits. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and offers empathy and reflection to support growth.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Kristina will discuss options and tailor approaches to the client's goals, preferences, and life circumstances. That collaboration helps keep sessions practical and focused on what matters most to the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexible access. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits. Phone sessions can be easier when you need a shorter or less bandwidth-intense check-in. Live chat and messaging let clients send brief updates or reflection between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while still using evidence-informed approaches.
