About Kristina

Kristina Greco is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with six years of experience. She works with adults and adolescents who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, and who are coping with anxiety, trauma, addictions, low self-esteem, stress, and life changes. Kristina also addresses issues like attachment, codependency, abandonment, and guilt and shame.

Her style blends trauma-informed care with mindfulness practices. She uses both insight-oriented conversation and practical strategies to help people manage strong emotions and build awareness. Sessions are paced collaboratively and are meant to be intentional rather than rushed.

Kristina places emphasis on emotional regulation skills and creating room to notice patterns that keep someone feeling stuck. She brings curiosity and respect for personal boundaries into sessions. That approach supports people working through panic, social anxiety, process addictions, and self-harm behaviors.

She draws on a personal interest in creativity, music, and nature to inform how she connects with people. Therapy includes concrete tools and reflective work aimed at clearer thinking and steadier mood. Kristina aims to help people develop greater alignment between how they live and what they value.

Kristina practices in New Jersey and offers services in English. Her counseling combines short-term strategies with longer-term insight work, depending on a person’s needs and goals.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Kristina uses trauma-informed care, which means she pays attention to how past harm affects present reactions and relationships. That approach helps when anxiety, post-traumatic stress, or attachment wounds make it hard to trust feelings or other people.

She also uses mindfulness-based methods that teach simple attention and breathing skills. Those practices are aimed at helping someone notice difficult emotions without being overwhelmed, which can reduce panic and impulsive reactions over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to test what feels most helpful, mixing reflective conversation with concrete skills practice as needed. That collaborative planning guides whether sessions focus more on short-term coping or deeper insight.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so appointments are simpler to keep. Licensed professionals commonly use these practical benefits to help therapy fit regular life without promising specific outcomes.
