The work is collaborative - Kristina helps people set realistic goals and figures out steps to reach them. Kristina holds an LPC credential in counseling and practices in Missouri.

Approaches that guide online therapy
Kristina draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work in plain, practical ways. One common approach she uses focuses on processing traumatic experiences and the feelings that follow, helping people reduce intrusive memories and manage strong emotions. Another approach emphasizes rebuilding self-esteem and restructuring unhelpful thoughts so daily life feels more manageable and hopeful.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about symptoms, history, and what they want to change, then recommend methods that fit their goals and preferences. This is adjusted over time based on what helps most.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it useful for keeping continuity during life transitions and for maintaining regular weekly or biweekly sessions with a licensed professional.
