Background and approach
Kristina adapts tools from cognitive and mindfulness approaches to reduce unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. Her work often draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and encourage actions that match those values. She also uses solution-focused strategies to set clear, manageable goals and track progress.
The overall aim is to make therapy useful and relevant to each person’s situation. With 21 years of experience, Kristina has supported people through a wide range of concerns including codependency, caregiver stress, blended family issues, substance problems, and family of origin wounds.
She brings sensitivity to issues tied to sexuality and alternative sex cultures, as well as neurodiversity topics like autism and Asperger syndrome. Kristina offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence while helping people build concrete skills. She tailors plans to individual needs and encourages small, steady changes that add up over time.
Approach-driven care delivered online
Kristina often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to take actions that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation problems. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is helping and what feels manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people have a face-to-face style session, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and other responsibilities.
