Online Therapy for Kids, Teens & Young Adults in Fort Worth

Hello there! I graduated from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas with a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2016. Since then, I have gained experience treating symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use. I have had the pleasure of working with children, couples, families, and Spanish speaking populations. Throughout the years, I have personally experienced that the effectiveness of treatment starts with being one’s true self and building a strong therapeutic relationship (Fife, Whiting, Bradford, & Davis, 2013). I strive to create a safe place for you where you can be heard without judgement, experience empathy, and be wholeheartedly supported. I genuinely want to get to know the human being that you are and come alongside your journey of healing and healthy change. I am hopeful that pairing our therapeutic relationship with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy will help create lasting positive change in your life.

A Safe Space for Healing, Even When Words Aren’t Enough Virtual therapy shouldn't feel like a chore—it should feel like a relief. As a "chameleon" clinician, I adapt my energy to meet your child exactly where they are. Whether they are shut down or acting out in fear, I create a non-judgmental space where even the "scariest" emotions are welcome. I specialize in working with children and teens navigating the aftermath of physical and sexual abuse. I know that trauma often looks like anger or violence; I see that as a cry for safety, not a "bad kid." My Tools: Art & Play Therapy: I use my own healing journey as a bridge. The art you see behind me was my voice when I suppressed my own pain for years. I help kids use creativity to speak when words feel impossible. Mindfulness & CBT: We work on grounding the body and reclaiming control over "big" thoughts and reactions. Our Partnership: Healing from trauma is a team effort. I don’t just work with your child; I partner with you to turn our sessions into a roadmap for safety and peace at home. Let’s work together to help your child find their voice and heal their inner self.

Supervised by Tara Bates, MSW, LCSW-S Kristina is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who genuinely enjoys helping people make sense of life when things feel heavy, confusing, or stuck. She earned her master’s degree in social work from the University of Texas at Arlington and also holds a master’s degree in sociology from Temple University in Philadelphia. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, burned out, stressed, or just not quite like yourself, Kristina gets it—and you’re not alone. With nearly 20 years of experience teaching at the college level and working in nonprofit settings, Kristina brings both knowledge and real-world understanding into the therapy room. She’s especially attuned to how relationships, life transitions, and larger social systems can shape how we think, feel, and move through the world. If you’re unsure about therapy or feeling nervous about starting, that’s completely okay. Kristina welcomes those conversations and believes therapy works best when you feel comfortable being honest—even about your doubts. She works with individuals, couples, and groups, including adolescents, young adults navigating change, middle-aged adults, and older adults (65+). She supports clients dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, grief, trauma, PTSD/C-PTSD, ADHD, relationship challenges, life transitions, and women’s issues. Above all, she strives to create a space that feels safe, supportive, and judgment-free. Life can be really hard at times. Kristina believes that with the right support, you can build tools that help you feel more grounded, more in control, and more connected to yourself. Her approach is collaborative and flexible, drawing from evidence-based practices like attachment-focused therapy, CBT, DBT, ACT, narrative and solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based perspectives. She tailors therapy to your goals, values, and pace—because there’s no one-size-fits-all path to healing. You don’t have to have everything figured out to start therapy. Come as you are. Kristina is known for her warmth, patience, and ability to truly listen. She believes everyone deserves a life with more ease, meaning, connection, and moments of joy. I am honored to walk alongside you as you move toward healing, growth, and lasting change. I am always TEAM YOU!

I am a compassionate Licensed Professional Counselor Associate who graduated from Lamar University, and I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate life’s challenges. I provide telehealth counseling in a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel comfortable being themselves and talking about what truly matters to them. I understand that reaching out for help can feel difficult, and I strive to create an environment where clients feel safe, respected, and genuinely heard. I work with individuals experiencing concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and self-esteem. My approach is collaborative and personalized, using evidence-based strategies while also focusing on each person’s unique strengths and experiences. I believe that growth happens when people feel supported and understood. My goal is to help clients build practical coping skills, gain insight, and move toward a more balanced, confident, and fulfilling life.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, especially when you are carrying stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or family difficulties on your own. Many people come to therapy when they feel stuck, emotionally drained, uncertain about how to move forward, or simply in need of support during a difficult season of life. Parents may also seek therapy when their child is struggling emotionally, behaviorally, socially, or academically and needs additional support. I provide therapy for children, teens, and adults navigating a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, trauma, emotional stress, life transitions, self-esteem issues, family conflict, and relationship difficulties. I am especially passionate about helping individuals heal from painful experiences, build healthier coping strategies, strengthen self-worth, and create more balanced and fulfilling lives. I believe in creating a space that feels safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental, where people can feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. My approach is compassionate and practical, helping patients not only process their experiences but also develop tools they can use in everyday life. Therapy is not about being perfect. It is about having the support to heal, grow, and move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and resilience.
