About Kristina
Kristina Paschal is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Illinois who draws on three years of professional experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, and major life transitions.
Background and approach
She focuses on building a collaborative space where clients can explore concerns such as self-esteem, relationship challenges, compassion fatigue, and social anxiety. Kristina emphasizes practical coping skills alongside steady emotional support to help clients navigate grief, loss, and shifts in motivation.
Her approach centers on creating an open, nonjudgmental environment that encourages honest expression of thoughts and feelings. Clients working with Kristina may address communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, and efforts to cultivate self-love.
She acknowledges that beginning therapy requires courage and seeks to validate that decision while partnering with each person to set realistic goals and steps forward.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Kristina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build coping skills and process difficult emotions. One common approach involves structured interventions that teach practical strategies for managing stress and anxiety, such as identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing healthier behavioral responses. Another frequently used method focuses on improving interpersonal skills and communication so relationship problems, social anxiety, and isolation can be addressed more effectively.Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work she does with each client. She will work together with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor techniques that fit their situation, adjusting methods as progress and circumstances evolve.
Online therapy with Kristina is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varying comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent sessions while accessing licensed professionals from different locations within Illinois, and they allow clients to continue care even when life demands change.
