Christina Kayrouz , LCSW

Christina Kayrouz is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Kentucky with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. Christina approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She aims to create a practical path forward tailored to each person's needs.

In sessions she listens first to understand what matters most to the client. She then uses straightforward tools and conversations to address symptoms and everyday challenges. That can mean building skills for coping with intense feelings, improving sleep and eating patterns, or working on motivation and confidence.

Christina draws from several evidence-based approaches to shape the work. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking, dialectical behavior ideas to manage strong emotions, and acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take meaningful action. Therapy stays focused on real-life changes rather than jargon.

She also supports people facing relationship stress, grief, parenting strain, career concerns, and questions around gender and sexual identity. Christina is experienced helping with addictions, compulsive behaviors, and attention-related difficulties. Her style blends practical exercises, reflective conversation, and goal setting.

People who prefer a direct, compassionate clinician who will tailor a plan tend to fit well with her approach. Christina welcomes conversations from English speakers in Kentucky and from international clients who can work in English. Sessions are offered in flexible online formats to match different schedules and needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Christina uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior that make problems worse and to practice small, measurable changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating concerns, and many everyday difficulties.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy ideas to teach skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance. DBT-style skills are practical when someone struggles with intense moods, impulsivity, or relationship volatility.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts techniques to fit their life. She aims to build a collaborative plan so the methods match what the person hopes to change and how they prefer to work.

Online therapy makes those methods more flexible. Video calls allow full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing coaching between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family, and travel while still using CBT and DBT strategies in practical ways.
