About Kristine
Kristine Bartos is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting, career pressures, and compassion fatigue. Kristine uses practical methods to help people manage symptoms and make concrete changes in daily life.
Her practice emphasizes cognitive behavioral ideas. She helps people see how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and how to change unhelpful patterns. Kristine also draws on psychodynamic thinking to look at earlier experiences when those issues seem relevant. She blends skill-building with moments of reflection so people get tools they can use right away.
Mindfulness techniques and elements of neuropsychology are part of her work when they serve the goals of the person in front of her. She aims for clear, goal-focused sessions that still leave room for personal exploration. That means she may offer structured exercises alongside discussion of life history.
Kristine trained at Columbia University and holds a Master of Science in Social Work. Her background includes counseling and crisis intervention in medical settings, where she supported people facing anxiety, depression, substance misuse, trauma, chronic medical conditions, and adjustment challenges.
She describes her approach as action-oriented and encouraging. People who want practical coping skills, focused progress, and occasional deeper reflection may find this style useful. To begin, follow the directory steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Kristine commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action even when unpleasant thoughts or feelings appear. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the best approach is treated as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That means initial sessions often involve assessing problems and deciding together which techniques to prioritize.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into busy days, enable shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits can help people use therapy alongside work, parenting, and medical appointments while focusing on skill practice and measurable progress.
