About Kristina
Kristina Crepeau is a licensed social worker in Michigan with 12 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for parents and people worried about family dynamics. She speaks in plain terms and aims to create a respectful, compassionate space for each person who reaches out.
Kristina uses straightforward conversation and clear goals. She listens first, then helps shape small, doable steps toward change. She adapts her approach to the needs of each client instead of using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
Her work often addresses relationship strains, trauma and abuse, mood concerns like depression and bipolar symptoms, anxiety and stress, and struggles with self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, parenting challenges, grief, substance use concerns, and intimacy-related issues. Additional areas include caregiving stress, blended family problems, and body image concerns.
Kristina draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s pace, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals. Motivational Interviewing helps when motivation feels low, and Mindfulness Therapy supports stress management and focus.
Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions are provided in English. Kristina’s license is LMSW, MI LMSW 6801094766, and her work is based in Michigan.
Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support
Kristina commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead, which helps people feel heard and helps shape goals that fit their family life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to find practical changes that reduce anxiety, improve mood, or change unhelpful patterns.She also brings Solution-Focused techniques when clients want quick, concrete steps. That approach zeroes in on small, achievable goals and what works now instead of only examining the past. Together these methods can address parenting challenges, family communication, stress, and routine changes.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about what they want to change, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This collaborative process helps ensure sessions stay useful and focused on real-life needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules, to meet from home, and to continue work between appointments when needed. Many people find the flexibility helpful for keeping momentum and practicing new skills in daily life.
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.
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.
