Kristina is very understanding, encouraging and just a safe place for me to process things that are weighing me down. I love how she untangles things by bringing me back to a positive focus and the very kind, reassuring way she communicates. Feels like a breath of fresh air to me.

I’ve only had a couple of sessions with Kristina so far, but after each one I feel immediate relief! She is so comforting and helpful. She’s given me great resolutions to dealing with my anxiety. I’m excited to continue sessions and to get a handle on my mental health with her guidance and expertise.

Struggling with life? Ready for change? Tired of repeating what seems to be the same ole never ending cycle? Well, positive change and restoration is not far from reach! I'm Kristina, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the sunny state of Florida, and I am ready to help! Together you and I will explore defeating patterns, negative thinking, and hidden themes from a Client-Centered approach. I have worked with clients who suffer from depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and a host of other issues and concerns. I specialize in total health to include mind, body, and spirit. I can help facilitate bridging the gap from where you are in life to where you want to be! It doesn't matter if you've been in therapy before for an extensive period of time, or if this is your first experience with counseling. Either way, I am here to guide you from a place of feeling lost with no direction to a place of satisfaction, peace, and enjoyment!

Let's begin our journey together. Allow me to guide you through with my 5 years of professional experience as a therapist and over 15 years of experience working with individuals and families with life struggles. My goal is to create a warm and supportive environment that is safe and welcoming. Simply put, life can be hard! Let me empower you to not only face the challenges, but to overcome them with great success!

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.

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, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Kristina’s been so helpful! We’ve had a few breakthroughs with knots in my relationships and she gave me perspective and insights on my own internal struggles. I always come away relieved and uplifted after our sessions. Thanks Kristina!

She’s great! She opened my eyes to some things I’ve never realized. I’d like to stick with her—be my counselor as long as my consultation through BetterHelp would last.

Reviewed May 2020

She’s amazing! I’m only two weeks in and she’s doing everything I need to feel comfortable. And I was very nervous at first.

Reviewed May 2020

I have been working with Kristina for a few weeks and immediately felt a lot better than before. She has been so easy to talk to from the very beginning so I felt very comfortable sharing things with her even though this my first time to get counseling. We message through the week and she checks up on me, then talk in more detail via video sessions. I thought my location would make time difference an issue, but her availability so far has been really great and allowed me to schedule at convenient times. Really looking forward to keep working with Kristina! :)

Reviewed February 2020

I've been doing counseling with Kristina for two months. Although I was more in a passive state of not knowing how to communicate ( this is my first counseling experience), Kristina is always checking on me and listen to my worries that I had trouble telling my friends and family. Positive and easy-going!!

Kristina has helped me overcome some of my biggest fears. I look forward to continuing our journey together and using the techniques and coping skills I’ve learned from her!

For my first time trying to get into long - term therapy, Kristina was the person I really needed to help me through my issues. She has opened my eyes about situations, and gives me the freedom to share anything I want to talk about in our sessions. She is so delightful, and a joy to talk to.
