Kristin Jurkowski

Kristin Jurkowski is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota with 15 years of experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, eating concerns, and big life changes. Her practice also addresses issues related to adoption and foster care, attachment and abandonment, aging and caregiver stress, body image, chronic illness, and divorce or separation.

Her approach blends relational attention with practical, evidence-informed techniques. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that can fit into daily life. She uses conversation to identify patterns that keep people stuck, then applies methods that help change those patterns.

Kristin pays attention to how relationships shape feelings and behavior. She helps people name painful memories and current triggers. Work can include improving communication, setting boundaries, and coping with loss or health challenges.

People often come when they feel uncertain about what comes next. Kristin helps clarify values, examine choices, and try new ways of responding. The process is collaborative; clients and she plan next steps together.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session costs vary with location. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

How evidence-informed approaches translate to online sessions

Many therapists use evidence-informed techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and on improving relationships. Cognitive approaches look at thinking patterns and teach practical skills for managing anxiety and stress, such as identifying distorted thoughts and practicing different responses. Relationally focused work examines patterns in close relationships and helps people practice new communication and boundary skills to improve connection and reduce conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristin will collaborate with each client to identify which methods fit their concerns, goals, and preferences. Together they check progress and adjust the plan when something isn’t working.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can work during a lunch break, and video or phone sessions let people connect without traveling. Discuss format preferences when you schedule to pick the most practical option for your routine.
