About Kristen
Kristen Wojtuniak is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with eight years of professional experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, ADHD, and major life transitions. She works with adolescents and adults and focuses on building everyday skills for coping and clearer communication.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and develop new, practical ways to respond. Kristen emphasizes small, consistent changes that reduce stress and support goal-directed action. She also incorporates practices to increase self-compassion and mindfulness in daily life.
Kristen addresses concerns such as obsessive-compulsive difficulties, body image and eating-related issues, chronic illness and pain, and intimacy-related struggles. She talks through how negative core beliefs influence mood and behavior and practices ways to challenge those thoughts. Sessions include setting boundaries, recognizing wants and needs, and naming how shame or guilt affect choices.
Her approach blends structured skill teaching with opportunities to try things between sessions. Kristen highlights the role of short exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments to test new responses to stressors. She frames progress as practical changes applied to real-life situations rather than only abstract insight.
The therapist aims to make sessions approachable for people with caregiving responsibilities, students, or those who prefer appointments that fit around work or school schedules. Sessions are conducted in English and Kristen accepts international clients; confirm current session formats before booking.

How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Kristen commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include thought records, short behavioral experiments, and clear practice tasks to try between meetings. These techniques are aimed at stress, anxiety, mood, and eating or body image concerns.She also works with mindfulness-based practices to increase awareness of thoughts and body sensations. Mindfulness exercises are brief and practical, designed to help people tolerate discomfort and reduce reactivity in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristen will work with the client to determine which techniques match their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress unfolds.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so appointments can occur around work, school, or caregiving commitments. If you need more information about exact session formats, confirm those details when you schedule.
