About Kristine

Kristine Bartos is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who combines structured skill-building with a warm, encouraging therapeutic style. She emphasizes self-understanding as a foundation for meaningful change, helping clients learn how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact so they can act in line with their values and goals. Her work is grounded in cognitive behavioral principles - identifying and adjusting the feedback loops in the thinking-feeling-behaving cycle - while also drawing on psychodynamic perspectives when exploring unresolved formative experiences.

She blends practical symptom-relief strategies with mindfulness-based practices and an interest in neuropsychology to support both immediate coping and longer-term growth. Kristine is goal- and action-oriented, focusing on concrete progress and skill acquisition while maintaining a supportive therapeutic atmosphere. Her clinical experience centers on adults and adolescents in medical settings, where she has provided counseling and crisis intervention for anxiety, depression, substance misuse, trauma, major chronic or life-threatening medical conditions, grief, and adjustment-related concerns.

Kristine earned a Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University in 2012 and adapts her approach to fit each person she sees, recognizing that each story and challenge is unique. She welcomes a conversation about how she might support a client through stress, relationships, parenting, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and other life changes.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Kristine Bartos uses evidence-informed methods to guide online work, beginning with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills to change behaviors and reduce symptoms related to anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a values-focused approach that encourages acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with personal values, useful for coping with life changes and persistent distress. Mindfulness Therapy is another component of her practice, offering techniques to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can support emotional regulation and resilience.



Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristine works with each person to explore what fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.



Online therapy with Kristine can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from varied locations and can support continuity of care when in-person sessions are not feasible.
