About Cristina
Cristina Kroeze is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people navigate relationship strain, family conflict, grief, and major life changes. Her work often focuses on communication struggles and the emotional shifts that come with pregnancy, postpartum, midlife, and aging.
She offers a warm, Christian-informed space and centers care on each person's story. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth, with attention to building resilience and improving how people connect with those around them. Cristina listens for patterns that get in the way of day-to-day functioning and helps people try different ways of responding.
Clients can expect support for parenting challenges, blended family issues, separation and divorce concerns, and problems like infidelity or isolation. She also addresses aging and geriatric questions and social anxiety that limits participation in work or social life. The work often includes clearer communication strategies and steps to manage big transitions.
Cristina focuses on practical goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes. She aims to help people find meaning and purpose when life feels uncertain. Conversations may cover coping skills, clearer boundaries, and rebuilding routines after loss or change.
Her practice is based in Wisconsin and conducted in English. People interested in starting can use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.
How evidence-based approaches fit online care
Many evidence-based approaches focus on practical change and clearer communication. For example, therapists often use structured problem-solving to break down family conflicts into manageable steps and to create actionable plans for improving interactions. This helps when tensions feel overwhelming and day-to-day routines break down.Another common method emphasizes behavioral experiments and skill practice. That means trying small changes between sessions - for instance, testing a new way to bring up a sensitive topic or a quick breathing routine to reduce social anxiety. These exercises are aimed at building confidence and seeing what works in real life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will choose methods that match the client's needs and adjust them over time in a collaborative way.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time so therapy can happen around work, childcare, or appointments. If you plan to pursue online care, confirm which session formats are offered before booking so you know how sessions will be conducted. Online work can make steady progress possible when in-person visits are hard to arrange.
