About Christina
Christina Kayrouz is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Kentucky with ten years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Christina speaks plainly and aims to make the first conversations simple and calm for someone who is worried or unsure what to expect.
She treats each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Christina adapts conversations and plans to fit what a person actually needs.
Background and approach
She encourages small steps and supports practical changes that feel doable. In sessions she combines approaches that help people notice what matters, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and build coping skills. Christina uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy depending on the situation.
She draws on skills-based work when stress or emotion feels overwhelming, and on values-based choices when people want clearer direction. Her experience includes work around relationships, grief, parenting, substance concerns, body image, eating and sleeping issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Christina also supports people coping with career stresses, divorce and separation, and problems tied to identity and shame.
Christina invites people to take the first step by answering a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time to talk. She aims to meet each person where they are and build a plan that fits their goals and day-to-day life.
How Christina’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions that line up with those values. It encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, which can help with anxiety, stress, and making life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying out different, more helpful ways of thinking and behaving. It is practical and skill-based, useful for depression, anxiety, and sleep or eating problems.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experiences. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is shared, and supports the client in finding solutions that feel right for them.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest methods that fit. She adjusts the plan as progress or priorities change so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier on travel days, and live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and part of everyday life.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
