About Kristen
Kristen Wojtuniak is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with eight years of professional experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, and challenges from life changes. She also sees individuals facing trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, and anger.
Kristen uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She focuses on changing unhelpful thinking patterns and building coping skills. Sessions include practice with setting boundaries, naming wants and needs, and noticing how shame or guilt influence behavior.
Her work often includes mindfulness and attention to body sensations so that uncomfortable feelings become more manageable. She helps clients identify negative core beliefs and then test alternative, more balanced thoughts. That process is aimed at reducing stress and increasing day-to-day functioning.
Kristen pays attention to concrete steps clients can try between sessions. She offers feedback, skill-building, and short exercises that fit into busy schedules. Her approach includes simple mantras and thought records when those tools are useful.
She often schedules people who need flexibility, such as those at home during the day or who can use a lunch break. Sessions are collaborative: goals are set together and adjusted over time based on what helps in real life.
BHow sessions work
Evidence-based techniques and online sessions
Kristen emphasizes approaches that focus on shifting thinking and building skills. Cognitive behavioral techniques involve identifying negative thoughts, testing them, and practicing alternative ways of thinking. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and some eating concerns.She also uses mindfulness practices that help people notice body sensations and uncomfortable feelings without immediately reacting. These skills support tolerating distress and can reduce reactivity to painful thoughts or sensations.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Kristen works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps in practice and what the person finds manageable.
