About Kristina
Kristina Robertson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with seven years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. Kristina also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, divorce and separation, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and feelings of guilt and shame.
She offers virtual therapy for people across Texas. Sessions are collaborative and attentive to how past events and current pressures affect daily life. Conversations tend to look at patterns that keep someone feeling stuck and at practical ways to respond differently.
Kristina draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. She uses approaches that address painful memories, reduce overwhelming reactions, and teach skills for managing emotions and behavior. The emphasis is on concrete tools and steady progress rather than abstract theory.
Her background includes work with people who have faced chronic relapse or co-occurring conditions and those affected by childhood and adult trauma. She has also supported first responders and veterans, and people in high-stress jobs, bringing that experience into how she plans sessions.
For someone carrying shame or guilt, sessions combine processing difficult feelings with learning practical strategies to respond in the present. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so Kristina can understand goals and outline a plan.
How evidence-based methods shape online sessions
Kristina uses several evidence-based approaches in her work and she selects methods that fit the person sitting across from her. Two commonly used techniques in her practice are cognitive behavioral approaches and somatic-informed methods. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new responses; they are often helpful for anxiety, mood problems, and guilt-driven thinking.Somatic-informed methods pay attention to how the body holds stress and trauma. These techniques include grounding and body-awareness exercises that can reduce intense physical reactions and make thinking and emotion regulation easier. Both approaches aim to give practical, repeatable skills for everyday life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristina works with each person to choose techniques that suit their goals, history, and comfort level. She will explain options, try methods in session, and adjust based on what helps the individual make steady progress.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or between appointments. Different formats can also suit lower-bandwidth connections or shorter, focused check-ins depending on what the client needs.
