About Christina

Christina Kayrouz is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience in Kentucky. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma, and supports clients facing issues with self-esteem and motivation.

She takes a respectful and compassionate approach in sessions. Christina shapes conversations and treatment plans to fit each person's situation rather than using one-size-fits-all methods. She encourages practical steps and steady progress that people can use between sessions.

Christina works with a wide range of concerns including relationship strain, grief, addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, and challenges tied to identity such as gender dysphoria and LGBT issues. She also addresses anger, career concerns, parenting strain, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her clinical work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Those tools are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and clarify values that guide change.

People who come to her can expect a collaborative tone. Christina listens first, then helps set clear, achievable goals. Sessions often mix practical skill building with space to process emotions and life changes.

She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Christina supports people who are ready to take steps toward a more fulfilling life and offers steady guidance along the way.

Approach and online care that fits your life

Christina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress. CBT focuses on practical steps and short-term strategies that can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, or sleep and eating problems.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while acting in line with their values. ACT can be useful for coping with chronic stress, grief, or life transitions. Christina uses client-centered techniques to keep the work grounded in each person's priorities and experience, making space for the person’s own goals to shape the work.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Christina works collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences, and she checks in regularly to adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and skill coaching, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy or changing schedules and make it easier to keep momentum toward goals.
