About KRISTINA
KRISTINA KOTECHA is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 21 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and intimacy-related issues. She also addresses depression, grief, addictions, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, and self-esteem struggles.
Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions focus on what is happening now and how patterns from the past affect current choices. She uses short, clear techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy alongside client-centered listening.
Kristina also brings tools from mindfulness and solution-focused work to help people manage difficult feelings and build clearer day-to-day routines. For some people this means learning skills to reduce anxiety. For others it means trying new ways of communicating in close relationships.
She pays attention to family of origin issues and how early roles and expectations continue to show up in adult life. That can include struggles with codependency, blended family dynamics, caregiving stress, or commitment and control concerns.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Clients can expect to talk through specific problems, try practical skills in-session, and set small steps to try between meetings. The overall aim is clearer thinking and more workable habits, not quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches you may use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and decisions about relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues.Finding the right approach is something the therapist and client do together. Kristina will discuss how different methods fit the client’s goals and preferences and will adjust the plan as needed. The focus stays on practical steps and clearer daily routines rather than on labels or tests.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules require, and reduce travel time. Some approaches, such as CBT skill practice or ACT exercises, translate well to remote sessions and can be used to support changes in everyday behavior.
