About Kristina
Kristina Greco is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or disconnected. She meets adolescents and adults who are managing anxiety, trauma, or persistent relationship patterns. Sessions are paced and collaborative to help clients feel heard and start making sense of their experience.
Her approach is trauma-informed and mindfulness-based, blending insight-oriented work with practical tools. That means she helps people notice patterns, regulate strong emotions, and try small, doable changes between sessions.
Background and approach
Therapy moves at a rhythm that fits each person, with attention to boundaries and safety. Kristina draws on curiosity and creativity in sessions. She often uses mindful awareness and reflection to explore how past experiences shape current reactions.
Practical strategies are added when people need concrete skills for stress, panic, or urges tied to addiction and process behaviors. She also supports work around attachment wounds, codependency, and communication problems. For people dealing with self-harm, substance use, or panic attacks, the focus is on immediate coping skills and longer-term pattern change.
Kristina has six years of clinical experience and holds MA LICSW LICSW1143115 and PA LCSW CW026220. Clients in New Jersey can expect a calm, respectful space that balances feeling understood with real-life tools. Her style values creativity, music, and nature as sources of meaning while helping people build clarity, resilience, and a stronger sense of self.
How Kristina’s Approaches Work Online
Kristina uses trauma-informed care to help people safely slow down and look at difficult memories and reactions. This approach focuses on stabilizing strong emotions, noticing triggers, and building small steps toward feeling more in control. It is often used for post-traumatic stress, panic, and long-standing relational wounds.She also brings mindfulness-based practices into sessions, teaching simple attention and breathing skills that reduce anxiety and improve emotional awareness. Mindful exercises can help with stress, impulsivity, and cravings tied to addictions by creating space between impulse and action.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they choose methods and pace sessions so techniques fit daily life and produce gradual change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer therapy sessions and in-depth conversation. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or shorter emotional support between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit into work, school, or caregiving schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress and connection.
