About Christina

Christina Kayrouz is a Kentucky-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with a decade of professional experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and related concerns. She emphasizes individualized care, shaping conversations and treatment plans around each person's situation and goals while honoring their dignity and lived experience.

Background and approach

Her practice addresses a wide range of issues including self-esteem and motivation, relationship and family challenges, grief, addiction, ADHD, and intimacy-related concerns. Christina draws from multiple evidence-informed methods to help clients build practical skills, increase emotional awareness, and clarify values that guide change.

Clients can expect a compassionate, respectful approach that balances gentle challenge with concrete strategies. Christina frames seeking help as a courageous step and positions herself as a supportive partner throughout the process, helping people move toward greater well-being and clearer direction in their lives.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed actions toward those values while developing flexibility around difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions by shifting focus from symptom elimination to living a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on identifying and testing unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical coping skills, which often helps with depression, anxiety, and situational problems by offering clear strategies to change behavior and mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses to improve relational patterns and deepen emotional awareness, benefiting people who want to address attachment, intimacy, or relational distress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina will work with clients to explore which methods align with their goals, preferences, and the specific issues they bring, and she may integrate elements from different approaches as needed to fit each person's needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule care around work, family, and daily life. These formats allow therapists to deliver evidence-informed techniques, real-time coaching, and ongoing support without requiring travel, helping clients maintain continuity of care across locations and busy schedules.
