About Kristine
Kristine Rezny is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and major life transitions. She takes a straightforward, caring approach and speaks in a plain, down-to-earth way that many clients find easy to relate to. She brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions.
She sees each person as the expert on their own life and focuses on strengths people already have.
Background and approach
Conversations are practical and goal-focused, aimed at reducing overwhelm and improving day-to-day coping. Kristine often uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. She also draws on her background supporting issues like compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, body image concerns, and difficulties with communication and control.
Her experience includes work with injury-related mental health, school-based counseling, and identity development. That variety has shaped a flexible style that combines structured skills with empathic listening. In sessions she helps people make small, manageable changes and build routines that support longer term goals.
She encourages questions and treats the therapy process as a collaboration where the client’s priorities lead the way. People who want a practical, warm, and respectful guide through anxiety, grief, or life changes may find her style helpful. She invites prospective clients to take the first step and see if the fit feels right.
How CBT and online sessions work together
Kristine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT breaks problems into concrete steps, so anxiety and stress become targets for practical change rather than vague worries. This approach is useful for day-to-day symptoms, worry, and adjusting to life transitions.She focuses on collaboration when deciding which methods to use. The therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust what isn’t helping. Finding the right mix of tools is part of the work and happens together over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets the therapist and client connect face to face. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a busy schedule. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing check-ins, homework review, and quick coping suggestions between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while still using CBT exercises and skill practice.
