How KRISTINA works
Over 21 years Kristina has worked in settings that exposed her to a wide range of concerns, including family of origin issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and communication problems. She also offers support around autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant and dependent personality patterns, and commitment or codependency struggles.
Her work includes addressing intimacy, BDSM and kink topics, and problems tied to domestic violence, divorce, or substance use. Kristina listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them test small changes to see what works. Kristina holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC, in Pennsylvania.
She speaks English and provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. If someone prefers a practical, compassionate guide for making changes, Kristina aims to be that partner in the process.

Online support options
How these approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and make values-based choices. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where someone wants more meaning in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that worsen mood or anxiety. It often includes experiments and practical homework to test new ways of coping. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, or another method fits best, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Online therapy offers several practical advantages. Video calls let people meet face to face when that helps build rapport. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day and need less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into everyday life.Start online instead of waiting
