About Kristina

Kristina Greco is a LICSW (Master of Arts, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) and a LCSW in Pennsylvania with six years of practice. She works with people who feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or disconnected from themselves or others. Her listed concerns include stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes, with an additional focus on codependency and attachment-related issues.

Kristina uses a trauma-informed, mindfulness-based approach. Sessions combine insight-oriented conversation with practical strategies for managing emotions and behavior. She moves at a careful pace and encourages clients to set boundaries around what they want to explore.

In sessions she helps people learn skills for emotional regulation and greater self-awareness. That can mean practicing present-moment attention, noticing patterns that lead to people-pleasing, or trying small behavior changes between meetings. The emphasis is on tangible steps rather than abstract theory.

Her work incorporates both reflective talk and hands-on strategies to address anxiety, panic, addictive behaviors, and problems connected to attachment and abandonment. Kristina mentions curiosity, respect for boundaries, and attention to safety as guiding principles in how she structures work with clients.

Outside of the therapy room she values creativity, music, learning, and time in nature, and she draws on those interests when they help clients connect with what matters to them. People who want clear, paced support for codependency patterns or for recovering from trauma may find this approach practical and direct.

How sessions work

Approaches used online and what they do

Kristina describes her work as trauma-informed and mindfulness-based. A trauma-informed approach means noticing how past stressful or harmful experiences affect current feelings and relationships, and then working slowly to reduce reactivity and overwhelm. Mindfulness-based work teaches present-moment noticing and simple attention practices to help with anxiety, panic, and emotional flooding.

She also uses insight-oriented conversation alongside practical skills. Insight work helps people recognize patterns such as people-pleasing or codependent behaviors. Practical skills focus on emotion regulation, like grounding exercises or short behavioral experiments to try between sessions. Deciding which mix to use is collaborative; the therapist and client review goals and try approaches together to see what fits best.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life because they reduce travel time and allow meetings during a lunch break or after work. Some formats use less bandwidth or allow a shorter check-in when that helps, which can make keeping regular contact more manageable while you work on boundaries, relapse prevention, or handling intense emotions.
