About Kristin
Kristin Jurkowski is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 15 years of experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, eating concerns, and major life changes. She blends relational depth with practical, evidence-informed methods to help people make steady progress. Kristin welcomes conversations about codependency and attachment concerns when they are part of a person's story.
Her work emphasizes clear, usable steps alongside open conversation. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, building coping skills, and trying small changes that add up. She aims for therapy to feel both honest and manageable rather than overwhelming.
Clients often bring transitions, losses, or identity questions. Kristin also addresses issues tied to adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric matters, chronic illness and pain, caregiver strain, body image, cancer, blended family dynamics, and divorce or separation. She listens for what matters most to each person and tailors the work around those priorities.
Over 15 years she has combined relational attention with evidence-based therapeutic techniques. That means she names patterns clearly, suggests concrete practices, and tracks progress together. Kristin describes therapy as a chance to come back to oneself and to build more reliable ways of coping.
Sessions are conducted in English and she is available to international clients.

Approaches that blend relationship and practical work
Kristin uses evidence-informed therapeutic techniques that combine relational focus with actionable strategies. One common thread is attention to attachment and codependency patterns - this means identifying repeated relationship habits and learning new ways to set boundaries and express needs. It can help with ongoing anxiety, communication problems, and repeated relationship stress.Another strand emphasizes behavioral skills and coping tools drawn from evidence-based methods. This involves practicing specific techniques between sessions, such as stress-management exercises, structured behavioral experiments, or steps to interrupt unhelpful routines. Those tools are meant to make everyday life easier and to track small, steady improvements.
Working out the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust the plan over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques feel most useful.
