About Crisinda
Her background includes 15 years as a school counselor, where she worked with adolescents and their families and supported students affected by alcohol and drug addiction. That school work informs how she talks about parenting and blended family challenges. She also brings experience with adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, and aging or geriatric issues.
In sessions she focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most. She incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when patterns of thinking or behavior feel stuck, and uses Solution-Focused methods to set short-term goals people can try between sessions.
Crisinda also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people weigh change and commitment, and Internal Family Systems to look at the different parts of a person that influence decisions and relationships. Her approach is conversational and goal oriented, mixing talking and exercises that clients can use in daily life.
People who come because they feel stuck in work, parenting, or relationships will find her practical, plainspoken style useful. She invites clients to identify small, realistic changes and to track what helps as they move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps when someone wants straightforward feedback and a space to sort priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings; it is useful when patterns of thinking or action keep someone stuck and they want practical strategies to change them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Crisinda will discuss methods and decide together which fits a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process often starts with short, clear goals and adjustments based on what helps over a few sessions.
Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins during breaks or between other commitments. Some formats can be less demanding on bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can help people maintain regular contact while juggling work, parenting, or caregiving responsibilities.
