About Kristina
Kristina Stainbrook is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, family concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Her work also addresses codependency, communication problems, forgiveness, life purpose, and self-love.
Kristina works from the view that each person knows their story best. She helps people identify strengths they already have and apply those strengths to current challenges. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, with room to talk through what matters most to the client.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers conversations on the client's perspective and priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and actions. Together these methods guide practical steps you can try between sessions.
In early sessions Kristina typically listens for immediate concerns and what the client hopes to change. She and the client then set simple, achievable goals and check progress over time. Work may include practicing communication skills, building coping techniques for anxiety, or making plans to reduce addictive behaviors.
People who prefer a direct, practical style and clear steps may find this approach useful. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session, which lets Kristina and the client decide how to proceed.

How her approaches fit into online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's perspective first. In practice this means the therapist listens closely to what matters to the client and follows their lead on priorities and goals. This approach helps when a person needs space to name their concerns and decide what to work on.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Online CBT sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behavior changes, and practicing skills between meetings. This approach can help with anxiety, stress, and patterns that feed addictive behavior.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristina will collaborate with each client to choose which methods to use based on needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is reviewed and adjusted as progress is tracked.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people continue work when schedules or location make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can use these practical benefits to keep therapy consistent and focused on real-life changes.
