About Kristine

Kristine Bartos is a licensed clinical social worker who brings a practical, skills-focused approach to therapy. She blends clear goal-setting with a warm, encouraging style to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. Kristine uses tools that teach clients how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact so they can make changes that match their values.

Her work emphasizes cognitive behavioral methods to map the feedback loops of thoughts, emotions, and behavior.

Background and approach

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current patterns. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are added when useful to strengthen coping skills and motivation. Kristine has three years of clinical experience and holds a Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University.

Much of her background comes from working in medical settings, where she provided counseling and crisis intervention for people managing illness, substance misuse, trauma, and adjustment challenges. Sessions tend to focus on practical skill-building alongside reflection about past experiences that still affect daily life. Kristine aims to offer clear strategies for symptom relief while helping clients build longer-term insight and resilience.

She works with adults and adolescents to address issues like depression, self-esteem, relationship strains, parenting stress, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Her approach is collaborative - she adapts techniques to fit each person’s story and goals.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Kristine uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients see how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact and then practice new skills to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

She also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and intimacy. That work can help people who want clearer understanding of why they relate to others the way they do and build different habits in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. Kristine will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that fit their goals, values, and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversations, phone sessions when video isn’t practical, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule around work, medical appointments, or caregiving, and let people pick the format that helps them engage best with the therapeutic work.
