About Cristina
Cristina Kroeze is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, family conflict, grief, parenting challenges, and major life changes. Cristina also focuses on issues such as social anxiety, postpartum mood concerns, midlife transitions, aging, and questions about life purpose.
She centers sessions on clear, practical conversations. Cristina listens for the patterns that make problems repeat, and she helps people try different ways of communicating and coping. She uses approaches grounded in evidence to address communication problems, isolation, and the fallout from separation or infidelity.
Cristina welcomes clients navigating pregnancy and childbirth issues as well as the postpartum period. She also supports those in blended families and people dealing with divorce or domestic violence aftereffects. Her work includes helping adults consider next steps in midlife and later life as roles and priorities shift.
Sessions include direct discussion about what is happening now and focused skill-building to change day-to-day interaction. She draws on Christian-informed perspectives when clients identify that as helpful. The emphasis is on practical tools for relating, problem solving, and managing strong emotions.
People who reach out typically want a grounded, straightforward approach. Cristina helps clients sort priorities, practice clearer communication, and make manageable steps toward new routines. To begin, visitors are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Evidence-based approaches and working online
Many therapists combine techniques from different evidence-based approaches to address relationship and life transition issues. One common approach focuses on communication skills training, which teaches clear speaking and active listening to reduce conflict and improve connection. Another commonly used technique targets coping skills for anxiety and grief, offering practical strategies to manage intense emotions and daily triggers.Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust methods as progress or priorities change. That collaborative planning helps align sessions with what matters most to the person seeking help.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing commute time and allowing appointments during work breaks or from different locations. Some remote formats also let people choose shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when that better suits their day. These practical benefits can help clients sustain regular contact with a licensed professional while balancing other responsibilities.
