Background and approach

Her work often addresses depression, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, anger, and the challenges of ADHD and bipolar mood patterns. She also supports people facing fertility concerns, communication struggles, isolation, and issues tied to intellectual disability or autism and Asperger Syndrome. Kristin describes therapy as a collaborative process.

Sessions focus on clarifying the problem, answering practical questions, and trying out new coping strategies. She encourages steady, realistic shifts rather than quick fixes. Based in New York, Kristin brings two decades of practice experience to each conversation.

She aims to make each visit feel like a safe moment to think things through and plan next steps. The goal is to leave sessions with clearer choices and manageable actions. People who choose Kristin can expect warm, direct help aimed at reducing overwhelm and building everyday skills.

She wants clients to feel less alone while they work toward the changes they want.

Mindfulness and practical work online

Mindfulness Therapy helps people slow down and notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. It can reduce reactivity and make stress and anxious moments easier to tolerate by teaching simple attention and breathing practices.

In session Kristin uses clear, step-by-step work to identify what feels most urgent and what small changes might help. She pairs mindful awareness with straightforward goal setting and practical coping strategies so people can try things between visits and report back what works.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Kristin collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts pace and techniques based on feedback and progress rather than sticking to one fixed plan.

Online therapy offers real flexibility. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation when a deeper check-in is needed. Phone sessions are useful for lower bandwidth or a quicker check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and fit support into a busy day. These options let people balance therapy with work, parenting, and other commitments while working toward clear, manageable change.
