About Krystine

LMHC and LMFT in Florida with six years of experience, Krystine Garay helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting challenges. She speaks English and Spanish and has clinical experience across child and adult concerns. Krystine uses practical skills to help clients respond to everyday pressures and interpersonal strain.

Krystine grew up in Miami and has worked in settings that included hospital rotations and community services. Her experience includes domestic violence, substance use, family conflict in court contexts, and co-occurring disorders in children. She has used mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral ideas, and dialectical-behavioral techniques in those roles.

In sessions she teaches simple coping skills and short exercises clients can use between meetings. Examples include grounding and breathing practices, thought-challenging steps, and behavioral strategies for managing impulsivity or panic. She also focuses on communication skills that reduce misunderstandings and improve family interactions.

Krystine supports parents facing separation or divorce and helps people work through attachment concerns, guilt, shame, and issues with self-esteem and self-love. She also addresses problems like panic attacks and difficulty regulating impulses with concrete tools clients can try right away.

Her approach emphasizes learning small, repeatable skills rather than abstract theories. Expect direct coaching on strategies, practice in session, and guidance for applying those strategies in daily life.

How Krystine applies skills-based approaches in online sessions

Krystine has used mindfulness-based exercises to help people reduce physiological stress. These are short practices such as breathing and grounding that teach immediate ways to calm the body and notice thoughts.

She also draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas that focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with simple behavioral experiments. That approach helps when anxiety, guilt, or low self-esteem lead to patterns of avoidance or harsh self-judgment.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Krystine will work with each person to choose which techniques to try, adjust methods based on what helps, and build practical routines that fit daily life.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and let people practice skills in familiar daily routines. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises for remote meetings so clients can practice between sessions and track progress over time.
