Kristina is an excellent therapist. She is really good about helping you get to the bottom of what is bothering you. She is receptive and listens, and has never made me feel insecure about expressing my feelings. I highly recommend her! Note that there can be a small delay in between reaching out (such as sharing Journal Entries or posts outside of the individual sessions) but I don't personally find that to be a detector of Kristina or her quality as a therapist.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Great
Kristina is a great therapist. She is very knowledgeable and I found her to be very relatable.
Kristina Kotecha is a wonderful therapist. I immediately felt supported and understood. Throughout our sessions she would point out positive things in my life and in my personality that I was not seeing or acknowledging. I really liked her problem-solving attitude!

I absolutely adore Kristina. She is so nice and accepting.
