Kristin Jurkowski

Kristin Jurkowski is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 15 years of experience. She brings a balance of relationship-focused work and practical, evidence-informed strategies to help adults find steadiness. Kristin frames therapy as a guided process back toward a sense of self and well-being.

Kristin works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, eating and food-related concerns, and big life changes. She also supports people facing issues like abandonment, attachment and blended family challenges, body image, chronic illness, caregiver strain, and divorce or separation. Sessions aim to meet the person where they are and tackle the problems that matter most in day-to-day life.

Her approach emphasizes relational depth - building trust and openness in the therapy room - alongside measurable, evidence-informed techniques that help people change patterns. That means talking through current struggles, identifying unhelpful patterns, and practicing new ways of coping between sessions.

Kristin values working collaboratively. She listens for strengths and resources, then helps set clear goals that feel doable. Progress is often steady because the work attends both to emotion and to concrete skills.

People who choose her often want a therapist who is direct but compassionate, and who combines thoughtful conversation with practical tools. She welcomes conversations about identity, cultural adjustment, and rebuilding after loss or major transitions.

How evidence-informed techniques translate to online therapy

Kristin uses evidence-informed therapeutic techniques that focus on relationships and measurable change. One common approach she emphasizes is relational work, which centers on building a trusting therapeutic connection and addressing how current relationships affect mood and behavior. This approach helps with anxiety, grief, and relationship conflict by making patterns easier to notice and change.

Another core element is skills-based, evidence-informed work that teaches concrete coping strategies. That can include breathing and grounding practices, behavioral experiments, or step-by-step changes to eating and routine habits. These techniques are aimed at reducing distress and increasing day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Kristin collaborates with each person to choose which methods feel most useful based on needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews progress together and adjusts the plan as needed so the work stays practical and relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins that match your schedule. Some people also find remote sessions helpful for steady accountability and practicing new skills between meetings.
