About Kristina

Kristina Dygulski is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 12 years of experience working in mental health. She focuses on adults coping with anxiety, stress, depression, addiction, self-esteem struggles, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, life changes, and issues related to guilt and shame. Kristina uses plain, practical guidance and steady pacing to help people talk through what’s happening now and what matters most to them.

Her style is collaborative and client-centered. Sessions typically begin with what the person is feeling and what they hope to change. She blends cognitive behavioral tools with skills from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to address thoughts, emotions, and behavior patterns. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationships and long-standing patterns tied to family of origin or abandonment.

Kristina often works on practical skills for managing panic, mood swings, impulsivity, or substance use, alongside exploring how shame and guilt affect choices and relationships. She uses motivational interviewing to open honest conversations about change and readiness.

Clients can expect clear steps and simple practices to try between sessions, such as grounding exercises, thought records, or short behavioral experiments. The aim is to build small, steady shifts rather than rapid fixes.

Her practice offers space to name painful feelings and to learn different ways of responding to them. Kristina draws on 12 years of experience to combine talk work with concrete strategies for coping and decision making.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Kristina draws on client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's concerns and goals. This approach emphasizes listening and reflecting so people can state what matters to them and try different ways of thinking or acting.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT helps with anxiety, panic, mood challenges, and patterns tied to guilt and shame by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Kristina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make sense based on their goals, preferences, and daily life. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting as needed.

The practicality of online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week. Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online work can make brief check-ins, skills practice, and regular appointments simpler to schedule and follow through on, and it can reduce travel time or make it easier to attend from work breaks or home routines.
