About Kristin
Kristin Jurkowski is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Minnesota with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, eating concerns, and coping with life changes. Her practice also addresses abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties, and challenges tied to aging, caregiving, chronic illness, and major life transitions.
Kristin blends relational focus with practical, evidence-informed methods. Sessions tend to mix talking through patterns in relationships with concrete steps clients can try between meetings. She pays attention to how past losses and attachment experiences shape current guilt and shame without minimizing those feelings.
She helps people who struggle with body image, codependency, control and commitment issues, and communication problems. Kristin also supports people managing cancer, chronic pain, or the stress of caregiving. Eating concerns and identity shifts after major life changes are common topics in her work.
Her approach is grounded in techniques that have research support while keeping the conversation personal and direct. Kristin aims to notice patterns, test small changes, and reflect on what people learn from practice. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and a first appointment is scheduled through the online options. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Evidence-informed approaches and online therapy
Kristin describes her work as combining relational depth with evidence-informed treatment. That usually means noticing patterns in how people relate to others and then using techniques proven in research to test change. For example, relational work focuses on how past attachment and losses affect current relationships and emotions, which can help with guilt and shame tied to family or caregiving roles.Another common thread is using practical, research-backed methods to build skills between sessions. These may include structured exercises that address anxiety, eating concerns, or communication problems and give concrete steps to practice in daily life. Such techniques support steady progress without relying only on talk.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Kristin works collaboratively to identify what fits a client's goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods as those needs become clearer. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to try and when to change course.
