She offers a calm, accepting presence and works to understand each person's unique situation before suggesting next steps.

Kristina draws on 12 years of experience working with issues such as trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, ADHD concerns, grief, and parenting stress.
Background and approach
She adapts conversations and plans to match what each person needs in the moment. Sessions are straightforward and focused on small, useful changes that add up over time. Her work includes a mix of client-centered listening, cognitive behavior strategies, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques.
That variety helps when the problem calls for talking things through, changing unhelpful thoughts, building new habits, or finding practical next steps. People who choose Kristina can expect respectful, down-to-earth support. She pays attention to what matters most to each client and adjusts pace accordingly.
The aim is to increase confidence and coping skills so daily life becomes easier to manage. Kristina practices in Michigan and conducts sessions in English. She tailors plans for concerns like addiction, sleep or eating problems, intimacy-related issues, career stress, and caregiving strain.
Her style is collaborative, with steady encouragement toward realistic goals.
How Kristina’s Methods Work Online
Kristina uses client-centered therapy to start by listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most to each person. This approach helps build trust and keeps the work focused on the client's priorities.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot patterns in thoughts and behavior and to try small practical changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, phobias, depression, and problems that feel stuck because of unhelpful thinking.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to help people notice stress and strong feelings without getting overwhelmed. These exercises can support better sleep, reduce reactivity, and make daily routines easier to manage.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kristina talks with each client about their goals and preferences and adjusts methods as progress is made. She checks in regularly to see what is helping and what needs a different focus.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and working through exercises together. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick updates, brief coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
