About Cristina
Cristina Kroeze is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience in Wisconsin. She focuses on helping people manage relationship strain, family conflict, grief, and parenting stress. Her work also covers life transitions like pregnancy and postpartum, midlife shifts, and aging concerns.
She keeps sessions direct and compassionate. Conversations often center on what feels most urgent for the person - improving communication, reducing isolation, or finding purpose after a big change.
Background and approach
Practical steps and simple strategies are used alongside emotional processing. Cristina describes her style as warm and Christian-informed, and she aims to create a respectful space where clients can name hard feelings. She listens for patterns that get in the way of connection and helps people try different ways of responding.
Goals are set together and adjusted as progress unfolds. People come to her for a mix of problem-solving and support during intense times. Common topics include blended family issues, divorce and separation, infidelity, and caregiving or geriatric concerns.
She also works with those facing social anxiety, postpartum depression, or the loneliness that can follow big life changes. Sessions may include short practical exercises, communication practice, and planning for next steps between meetings. Cristina helps clients build skills they can use outside therapy while also making space to grieve losses and process emotional shifts.

Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy fits
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear, practical methods to change patterns and ease distress. One common approach uses communication skill building - practicing how to express needs and set boundaries to reduce conflict and improve relationships. This helps with recurring arguments, blended family dynamics, and trouble saying what you need.Another approach centers on coping skills for life transitions and grief, combining short exercises to manage intense moments with reflections on meaning and next steps. This can be useful after loss, during pregnancy and postpartum adjustments, or when facing midlife changes.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust the plan over time. Clients help choose what feels most useful and realistic for their daily life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, reflection between sessions, or steady support without scheduling long calls. These options help make counseling accessible around work, parenting, and other commitments.
