Reviewed November 2021

Kristina is a great therapist, she really cares about her clients. She sends messages to check up on me when I’m out of touch in between sessions which is very caring and keeps me expressing myself when I might have shut down. I truly appreciate her perspective and understanding of my situation.

More about Kristina

  • 11 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Sometimes, taking the first step is the hardest! I have worked to take the pressure out of coming to therapy and established a comfortable and inviting practice, from the comfort of your own home. I strive to provide the highest quality therapy for my clients. I work with clients of all genders struggling with, but not limited to; bullying, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship struggles, and mood disorders. We will work together to build a lasting rapport, identify your strengths, as well as your short and long-term goals. My goal is for you to recognize your strongest, and truest potential, and identify strategies that work best for you to breakdown barriers that may be holding you back. Working through messaging, and calls allows you to feel comfortable in your therapy sessions. After all, therapy is all about what you get out of it! As a graduate of Immaculata University I have achieved a Masters of Arts Degree in Counseling Psychology and have my NCC, and LPC credentials. I currently assist in the mental health field with clinically diagnosed disorders. I enjoy the diversity of working with various cultures as well as a variety of ages. I am an effective motivator and organizer of diverse teams.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Kristina is an excellent therapist. My schedule is chaotic and sometimes I need her at odd times throughout the day, and she is still always available for messaging. I don't know how she does it but I am so appreciative of her dedication. She remembers things I tell her and follows up with me outside of our weekly sessions. She has already helped me so much, and I look forward to our sessions.

Kristina helped me and guided me out of a really dark and depressing time in my life to a healthier, happier point. She is prompt with responses, optimistic, understanding, and provides great insight on how to manage tough matters. I look forward to speaking with her on days when we have scheduled appointments.

She spends her time to listen to my concerns and offers options to be able to better help me in my situation. I appreciate having someone to talk to and to be understanding

Reviewed May 2019

Kristina is an absolute godsend. Seriously. Where most therapist have one set way of doing things, she offered me multiple ways of dealing with my issues (including worksheets)! I honestly would recommend her for anyone who has felt failed by traditional therapy. Her advice and suggestions have really made a difference in my life already and I couldn’t be more pleased to have her as my counselor!
