About Kristina

Kristina Marquez is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder. She also helps people with confidence, motivation, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, and career questions.

Kristina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She shapes sessions around what a person brings and what they want to work on next.

Her background includes work across clinical settings where she supported people facing life transitions and complex stressors.

She also addresses communication problems and family-related conflicts at the individual level.

Kristina pays attention to everyday life pressures like work, money, caregiving, and parenting. She helps clients identify small, doable steps to reduce overwhelm and build confidence. Therapy can include coaching-style conversations when someone needs concrete planning for next steps.

BHow sessions work

Approaches Kristina Uses and how online work fits

Kristina works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people learn skills to manage anxiety and stress through step-by-step strategies for breathing, scheduling, and problem solving. Another common technique focuses on processing trauma and related symptoms by helping someone name what happened, track triggers, and build safer coping responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let someone keep consistent appointments during work or caregiving transitions. Kristina aims to align practical session structure with a person’s real-life schedule and goals.
