About Remmawii

Remmawii (Karuna) Kristjanson is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience. She focuses on addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes. Her approach is gentle and practical, aimed at helping people feel steadier in day-to-day life.

She draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early bonds shape current patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral tools, and elements of client-centered and dialectical work to address thinking, feeling, and behavior.

Background and approach

Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and pace. Remmawii brings a cross-cultural perspective from time spent living in India and Canada before settling in Georgia. That background informs how she notices cultural patterns and relationship expectations during therapy.

She emphasizes respect and sensitivity in every conversation. Her style blends talking with practical exercises like breath awareness, journaling, and simple body-centered practices to calm the nervous system and reduce tension. These are offered as options to help people bring insights into everyday life.

Clients work together with her to build clearer communication, manage overwhelming emotions, and address issues such as shame, abandonment, or workplace stress. She aims to help people reconnect to purpose and personal values while moving toward healthier coping. Work begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling.

Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged to fit different time zones for international clients.

Online support

Attachment-informed and skills-based online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In short sessions she helps people notice connection habits, how they respond to loss, and where they feel stuck in relationships. This work is useful for issues like abandonment, trust struggles, and intimacy concerns.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes values and action. It helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, accept difficult feelings, and choose actions that match what matters to them. That approach is often used for coping with grief, addiction, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, culture, and daily life. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most in real situations.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexibility for brief updates, journaling between sessions, or keeping therapy active during busy weeks. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, travel, or different time zones.
