About Kristina
Kristina Tandoi is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, relationship struggles, and the aftermath of trauma. She writes simply and directly, and she focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Kristina aims to make the first step feel possible for people who are unsure where to begin.
Kristina draws on nine years of professional experience in clinical settings across New York.
Background and approach
She centers the person’s experience and treats them as the expert on their own life. Sessions emphasize clear goals, realistic strategies, and steady progress rather than quick fixes. She pays particular attention to problems tied to abandonment, communication breakdowns, guilt and shame, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, self-worth, social anxiety and phobia, and issues many women face.
Conversations focus on what is happening now, how it started, and what small changes can make daily life easier. Kristina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape sessions. That means she leans on methods proven to help with symptoms and everyday functioning, then adapts them to each person’s needs.
The work includes skill-building, emotion regulation, and practical problem solving. Appointments are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. She aims to support people who need evening or weekend times and helps them plan next steps toward steadier mood and healthier relationships.
Evidence-Based Care Delivered Online
Kristina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. One common approach focuses on teaching coping skills for anxiety and mood issues - people learn breathing, grounding, and behavior strategies to reduce overwhelm and reframe unhelpful thoughts. Another approach involves processing trauma-related symptoms with stepwise methods that help people understand triggers, manage flashbacks or distressing memories, and rebuild day-to-day functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kristina collaborates with each person to identify goals, test methods, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. She treats the person as the expert on their life and tailors techniques to fit their needs and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face-to-face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging help people keep momentum between sessions and fit support into busy days. These options make it easier to schedule appointments during evenings or weekends and to maintain steady care across life’s demands.
