More about Kristina

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a licensed therapist based in Arizona with 12 years of professional experience, dedicated to helping individuals overcome challenges such as stress and anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship issues, trauma and abuse. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist with a focus on Sex Trafficking and Exploitation, I bring specialized knowledge to support those recovering from complex trauma.

My approach is holistic, integrating both mind and body to address the full spectrum of your well-being. I use a combination of therapy modalities, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Experiential Therapy. By engaging in experiential techniques, I aim to help you explore deeper emotional experiences and uncover new insights that promote healing and growth.

In our work together, I prioritize creating a safe, open, and non-judgmental space where you can express your thoughts and feelings freely. I understand that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, and I am here to walk alongside you in that journey. Together, we will work toward healing, self-discovery, and lasting change.

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.
