I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of New York providing brief online supportive therapy for adults in need of emotional support and guidance while navigating life challenges. I enjoy helping people gain perspective using an integrated approach to treatment consisting of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Brief Solution-Focused Therapy, and other third wave and traditional models of therapy. I will use a conversational style of supportive intervention to help you increase awareness about what you care about the most in terms of moving forward through the Stages of Change. These models of treatment are collaborative in that we work together to explore possible solutions. We deconstruct behaviors and impulsive automatic thoughts and beliefs that may keep you stuck in a self-defeating cycle of learned behaviors and habits. This cycle often maintains the distress you are attempting to release. Cultivating a set of skills to stay grounded in the present moment with the purpose of empowering you to utilize your senses to simply notice or observe what is happening in the "here and now" without judgmental labels or descriptions about your experiences. This is acceptance of the present moment. Finally coming to understand that in spite of perceived barriers that can leave us feeling hopeless and helpless we can make at least one step forward by rethinking the meaning, intent, and purpose of any goal we strive to meet. We are the authors of our story and have editing power! DISCLAIMER: I am a Bible believing born-again follower of Jesus Christ . I can support believers who ask for Biblical inspiration to cope with everyday life stressors using scripture from the Holy Bible and integrating these spiritual principles with clinical models of treatment. As we face the uncertainty of life we can move past our fears, doubts, and insecurities by remaining grounded in the Word of God for strength.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker from New York. I have over 20 years experience . I have worked with Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Behavioral Issues and more. I decided to be a social worker because I did not want anyone to feel alone. I wanted everyone to have someone to talk to. I wake up each day hoping to make someone’s day a little brighter and lighter by being there to listen to them. I will be there to help them make changes to their lives and deal with any obstacles that may come along the way. I approach therapy by being compassionate, respectful and non-judge mental. I understand that change and asking for help are difficult for many. Taking those first steps can be the hardest. I work with my clients to identify the change they want to make, answer questions about the problem/change and set goals to address the problem/change areas. I look forward to meeting and working with you as you make changes to your life. Kristin

I am licensed in New York with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I am trained in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, EMDR and my practice also includes interventions from Gestalt, Person-centered, Internal Family Systems, and other therapy approaches. I believe that when addressing fears and anxieties, the most effective approach is to work toward facing those fears a little bit at a time with tenderness, patience, acceptance, and imagination. I often see clients work through their problems and experience relief from symptoms after getting to the bottom of their core fear. In my practice, I also see a lot of individuals with perfectionistic styles, traumatic backgrounds, and self-neglect, that result in procrastination or overwork, burnout, and self-blame. I am here to support and empower you to change these symptoms by shifting to flexible attitudes and beliefs, which frees up room for problem-solving and behavior change.

As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I am dedicated to the supporting the well-being of my clients from a Christian perspective, though I welcome all who seek counseling, regardless of religious background. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or parenting/marital troubles, I provide a safe place for you to come individually, as a family, or as a couple. While traditional therapy focuses more on the individual, MFT examines how an individual’s behavior affects both the individual and their relationship as part of a couple or family. The theory behind MFT is that regardless of whether a problem appears to be within an individual or within a family, getting other family members involved in the therapeutic process will result in more effective solutions. MFT is goal-oriented and works toward an established end result. In recent years, MFT practitioners and groups have called for expanded approaches to traditional MFT training that incorporate more “real world” practices to integrate other therapies and become more inclusive of non-heterosexual couples and families. I would address the behaviors of all family members and the way these behaviors affect not only individual family members, but also relationships between family members and the family unit as a whole. As such, treatment is usually divided between time spent on individual therapy and time spent on couple therapy, family therapy, or both, if necessary.

I am a mental health counselor licensed in New York with over 4 years experience working within residential programs with clients that have a wide array of needs. I have worked with older clients with compromised immune system concerns, along with serious mental health diagnoses. For the last three years, I have been working with young people that are staying in a residential setting. These youth have experienced significant physical and/or emotional trauma, and have been diagnosed with things like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, and more. My counseling style really depends on the client and the rapport we have built. I believe that all clients deserve to be treated with respect, integrity, honesty, and compassion. My Person-Centered Therapy approach complements those core values, and allows me to build a therapeutic experience that is tailored to the client’s specific needs.
