About Kristina

Kristina Paschal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses evidence-based approaches to help people facing stress and anxiety. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on practical steps clients can use in daily life. She has three years of clinical experience working with concerns such as low self-esteem, relationship strain, and major life changes.

She also helps people manage compassion fatigue and the flattened energy that can come from caring for others.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize a calm, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be named and sorted. Kristina encourages small experiments and simple routines that build confidence over time. She talks through how to handle social anxiety, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation in concrete ways.

Kristina supports people who struggle with communication problems by practicing clear, doable skills in session. She helps clients notice repeated patterns and try new responses that fit their values. When grief or loss is part of the story, she works at a gentle pace and focuses on coping tools that ease daily life.

Kristina practices in Illinois and conducts sessions in English. She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable, and she guides each person toward goals they can notice and measure.

Approaches that translate to online care

Kristina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, teachable skills. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life evidence to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another set of techniques teaches small behavior changes and coping routines that build resilience for stress and compassion fatigue. These methods are practical and aimed at making day-to-day life easier.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristina will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. She regularly checks in about what is helping and adjusts methods based on feedback and progress.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits the schedule. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates between sessions or use written check-ins when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy or changing routines while keeping focus on practical progress.
