About Kristine

Kristine Bartos is a licensed clinical social worker who draws on several practical therapy methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life shifts. She blends structured skill-building with a warm, encouraging approach so clients can learn tools and see measurable progress. Her style is action-oriented but steady, focusing on small changes that add up over time.

Bartos emphasizes learning how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses.

Background and approach

She pairs that work with mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. She also uses attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas when it helps to understand how early experiences shape current relationships and coping. That background can make it easier to break long-standing patterns and form new habits.

Sessions usually include both practical coping skills and attention to personal history when needed. Kristine earned a Master of Science in Social Work and lists Florida LCSW as her credential. Her experience includes counseling in medical and crisis settings, where she supported people facing anxiety, depression, substance concerns, trauma, and major medical challenges.

That work shaped her adaptable approach. In sessions she aims to collaborate on clear goals and next steps. She encourages steady practice between meetings and tracks progress in concrete ways.

The focus is on helping people find relief and regain a sense of control over daily life.

Online support

How therapy methods translate to online care

Kristine uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and practice different responses. That work often focuses on concrete exercises and homework that translate well to video or text check-ins.

She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help with stress and anxiety. Mindfulness exercises can be guided over a call or sent as short written prompts for practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, daily routines, and what feels useful. That plan can be adjusted as progress is tracked and needs change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for short check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates or homework prompts. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, medical appointments, or busy family life.
