Krystine Garay, LMHC, LMFT - Therapist in Florida

About Krystine

Krystine Garay is a licensed mental health counselor and marriage and family therapist practicing in Florida. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on six years of clinical experience to help people work through stress, anxiety, relationship strains, and parenting concerns. Krystine aims to make the first step feel manageable for a worried parent deciding to reach out.

Krystine grew up in Miami and has provided services across youth and adult settings.

Background and approach

Her background includes work in domestic violence, substance use, and court-involved family conflict. She also supported children with co-occurring disorders during a psychology internship at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital. In sessions she uses straightforward tools such as mindfulness exercises and cognitive-behavioral strategies.

She also draws on dialectical-behavioral techniques to teach coping skills for strong emotions and physiological symptoms. These are used to help people reduce panic, manage impulsivity, and build healthier communication habits. She commonly addresses attachment concerns, communication problems, divorce and separation stress, guilt and shame, and self-esteem or self-love struggles.

Parents who feel overwhelmed by behavior or family conflict may find practical steps to try between sessions. Krystine describes therapy as a process of steady progress rather than perfection. She encourages people to take a small step when they feel ready and offers therapy in both English and Spanish to better serve her community.

How therapeutic techniques translate to online care

Many of the approaches Krystine uses are practical and easy to adapt to virtual work. Cognitive-behavioral strategies focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. These methods help with anxiety, panic attacks, and low self-esteem by creating clear steps to practice between sessions.

Mindfulness exercises teach simple breathing and grounding practices to calm the body and mind. These tools can reduce panic symptoms and improve emotion regulation over time. Dialectical-behavioral techniques add skills for handling strong emotions and managing impulsivity through structured skill-building.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Krystine will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She may start with basic breathing and thought-challenging exercises and adjust based on how a person responds.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice techniques in day-to-day settings and bring real examples to sessions for immediate feedback.
