About Kristina
Kristina Tandoi is a New York licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She draws on nine years of clinical experience to support people facing depression, trauma, relationship worries, and struggles with addiction. Her style is steady and practical, aimed at making day-to-day life feel more manageable.
She believes clients know their stories best and brings a collaborative attitude to each session. Conversations often start with what feels most urgent and build toward small, realistic steps.
Background and approach
Kristina encourages using personal strengths to reduce shame, strengthen communication, and rebuild self-worth. In sessions she helps people address concerns like abandonment fears, social anxiety and phobia, and mood challenges. She also works with issues around guilt, female-centered life changes, and post-traumatic stress.
The goal is clearer thinking, better coping, and improved emotional balance. Kristina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. She will help identify which methods fit a person's needs and adjust the approach over time.
Her focus is on practical skills that can be used between sessions. People meet with her by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging depending on what fits their life. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for both the person and Kristina.
Evidence-based approaches suited for online care
Kristina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life change. One common technique she employs involves structured skills training to manage anxiety and stress - it teaches breathing, grounding, and thought-management strategies that people can practice between sessions. Another approach focuses on processing trauma and reducing symptoms of post-traumatic stress by helping people name difficult memories, reduce avoidance, and build coping skills for upsetting moments.Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, what has helped before, and daily routines. Together they pick methods that fit a person's needs and adjust them as progress is made, keeping sessions practical and goal-focused.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more usable around work and home life. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options let people fit care into evenings, weekends, or busy days while keeping focus on consistent progress.
