About Kristina
Kristina Crepeau is a licensed social worker in Michigan with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns. Her style is direct but warm, aimed at making small changes that add up over time.
She listens first and adapts sessions to each person's needs. Kristina uses clear, goal-oriented techniques alongside conversations that prioritize the client's perspective.
Background and approach
Sessions often include problem-solving steps, behavior strategies, and attention to how thoughts and actions are connected. Most of her work blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral methods and mindfulness skills. That means clients set the pace and goals, while also learning tools to manage intense feelings, reduce worry, and change unhelpful patterns.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are used when people want to build momentum and try specific changes quickly. Her background includes a range of concerns such as trauma, addictions, ADHD, grief, eating and sleeping issues, intimacy struggles, and career stress. She has experience supporting people through complicated transitions and caregiving strain, and she addresses attachment and communication problems in everyday terms.
Kristina tailors each plan to what the person brings to the room. She emphasizes small, measurable steps and practical coping skills. People who want straightforward guidance and collaborative planning tend to work well with her.

Practical approaches for online parenting and life work
Kristina often uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding each person's goals, and shaping sessions around what matters most to the client. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills for reducing worry, changing unhelpful behavior, and improving mood.She also integrates mindfulness techniques to help people manage stress and stay present during difficult moments. These practices can help with parenting stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and emotion regulation. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist and client will try methods, review what helps, and adjust goals and tools together so the work fits the client's life and priorities.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer different practical benefits. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation and allow for visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when a written conversation feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to maintain consistency and to use skills between sessions.
