About Kristine Bartos

Kristine Bartos, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), combines evidence-based skill building with reflective exploration to support adults and adolescents facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family challenges, trauma, substance concerns, and medical-related adjustment issues. She emphasizes cognitive behavioral work as a foundation - helping clients map how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact and learn practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.

When helpful, she brings psychodynamic perspectives to explore unresolved formative experiences and offers concrete strategies for symptom relief. Mindfulness-informed practices and an interest in neuropsychology are woven into her approach when indicated, encouraging present-moment awareness and improved emotional regulation. Her clinical style is both warm and encouraging and also goal- and action-oriented, pairing a welcoming therapeutic stance with structured skill acquisition and measurable progress.

She earned a Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University in 2012 and has worked primarily with adults and adolescents in medical settings, providing counseling and crisis intervention for a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, substance misuse, trauma, and major or chronic medical conditions. Kristine adapts her methods to each person’s unique story and priorities and invites clients to explore how therapy might contribute to meaningful, lasting change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Kristine Bartos uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and to develop practical skills for reducing anxiety, improving mood, and changing unhelpful patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) complements this work by encouraging values-based action and helping people tolerate uncomfortable feelings while pursuing meaningful goals. Mindfulness therapy supports both approaches by teaching present-moment awareness and stress-management techniques that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Kristine collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. The aim is a tailored, cooperative path toward the client’s priorities.

Online therapy with Kristine is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to choose the format that works best for their schedule and comfort. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals while balancing work, family, and other life demands.
