About Kristin

Kristin Esposita-Ublacker is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and related challenges. She brings a warm, steady presence and a simple goal - help people feel less alone and more able to handle daily life.

Kristin aims to listen first, then help clients set clear, achievable steps toward the changes they want. She holds LCSW-R (Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Registered) in New York and LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) in Massachusetts.

Background and approach

With 23 years of experience, Kristin draws on long practice with mood and behavior concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues like impulsivity and isolation. Her work also addresses fertility issues, communication problems, intellectual disability, and women’s and young adult concerns. In sessions she uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them.

She keeps the process compassionate and nonjudgmental and focuses on practical steps clients can try between meetings. Kristin talks through goals, answers questions about problems, and checks progress together. Her style is patient and straightforward.

She emphasizes small, concrete changes that add up over time. Kristin aims to make the work feel manageable for people balancing busy family lives or sudden life changes. Clients can expect respectful listening, clear goal-setting, and collaboration on strategies for coping, communication, and mood management.

Mindfulness and practical care for online therapy

Mindfulness Therapy in Kristin's practice involves simple exercises to help people notice thoughts and body sensations without reacting immediately. This approach can ease anxiety, depression, and overwhelm by teaching steady attention to the present moment and reducing reactive responses.

She pairs mindfulness with straightforward problem-solving. That means listening to what feels most urgent, breaking challenges into small steps, and trying practical strategies between sessions. These methods help with parenting stress, communication problems, coping with life changes, and mood management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kristin collaborates with each person to choose techniques that fit their life, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility for busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family responsibilities and day-to-day demands while keeping continuity of care. Kristin aims to make online work feel practical and accessible so clients can try tools and track progress between meetings.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
