About Kristina
Kristina Greco is an LICSW and LCSW practicing in New Jersey with six years of clinical experience. She works with people who feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or disconnected, and who are navigating anxiety, trauma, relational patterns, and life changes, including social anxiety and phobia.
Her sessions move at an intentional pace. She uses a trauma-informed and mindfulness-based outlook and blends insight-oriented work with practical strategies. That means conversations about past experiences, attention to how emotions show up in the body, and hands-on tools for managing intense moments.
Kristina emphasizes building emotional regulation and self-awareness. She helps clients name unhelpful patterns like codependency, attachment issues, or impulsivity. For people facing panic attacks, process addictions, or substance concerns, she talks through coping techniques and steps for safer choices.
Therapy is collaborative and guided by the client’s boundaries. Kristina uses curiosity rather than pressure to explore family problems, shame, grief, or changes in life roles. She also works with problems related to self-harm urges and DMDD symptoms when those concerns are part of a person’s care.
Outside the room she values creativity, music, and time in nature. She explains things in everyday language and offers concrete practices you can use between sessions. If you want a clear plan and steady support while you work through stress, anxiety, or addictive patterns, she aims to make the work manageable and understandable.
How evidence-based methods translate to online work
Kristina draws on trauma-informed care and mindfulness-based strategies. Trauma-informed care involves noticing how past experiences affect current reactions and pacing work to avoid overwhelm; this approach is often used for people coping with post-traumatic stress, shame, or attachment wounds. Mindfulness-based work teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation, which can help with panic attacks and social anxiety.She also uses insight-oriented techniques that focus on patterns in relationships and behavior. These conversations look at recurring themes like abandonment, codependency, or communication problems and aim to increase understanding so a person can make different choices. Deciding which mix of methods to use is collaborative; the therapist and client review what feels most helpful and adjust over time based on goals and progress.
