About Kristin
Kristin Jurkowski is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults wrestling with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, eating concerns, and major life changes. She also addresses related areas such as attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and problems with communication or commitment.
Her practice blends relational attention with evidence-informed techniques. Sessions focus on understanding what keeps patterns going and trying practical steps to change them. Conversations move between exploring feelings about relationships and testing specific behaviors that relieve stress or improve communication.
Kristin helps people sort through changes in work, health, identity, and relationships. She pays attention to how past attachments shape current choices and feelings, and she helps people navigate grief and loss alongside daily demands. Eating concerns and body image are approached with both emotional understanding and behavioral options to try.
She works in a direct, collaborative way. Expect clear goals, short experiments to try between sessions, and check-ins about whether an approach is working. Kristin accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription system for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location.
How evidence-based work translates to online sessions
Kristin uses evidence-informed techniques that combine relational focus with practical behavioral work. One common approach she uses centers on understanding attachment patterns - identifying how early relationships influence current reactions and relationship choices. This approach helps people who feel stuck in repeating relationship cycles or who struggle with trust and closeness.Another strand of her work emphasizes behavioral experiments and skills practice. That means naming a specific problem, trying small changes between sessions, and reviewing what helped. This method is useful for anxiety, stress management, eating-related behaviors, and improving communication.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Kristin collaborates with each person to test approaches that fit their goals, needs, and preferences rather than assuming one method will suit everyone.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or enabling meetings across time zones for international clients.
