About Kristina
Kristina Marquez is an Illinois licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with five years of therapy experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, or major life changes. Kristina aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life.
She uses straightforward conversation to learn what matters most to each client. Sessions are shaped around the person in front of her, with goals set together and adjusted as needed. She pays attention to practical skills and emotional supports that can be used between visits.
Kristina often works with people managing grief, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and issues with intimacy. She also addresses caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, and recovery from sexual assault and abuse. Her background includes helping clients with depression, bipolar disorder, anger, and career or life-purpose questions.
Her approach blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with coaching-style support when helpful. That means she focuses on clear goals, usable tools, and steady emotional support. The work is collaborative - clients and therapist decide the plan together.
Kristina practices in Illinois and conducts sessions in English. She asks that people use the service’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
How evidence-based techniques guide online care
Kristina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional support. One common approach involves goal-oriented work that breaks larger problems into manageable steps and teaches skills that can be practiced between sessions. This is helpful for stress, anxiety, and motivation struggles.Another frequent element is trauma-informed care that prioritizes safety and pacing. It involves gentle processing of difficult events, strengthening coping skills, and building emotional regulation so people can move forward at a pace that feels right.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to choose which techniques to try, adjust pace, and set goals together based on needs and preferences.
