Kristina Tandoi , LMHC

Kristina Tandoi is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who focuses on women's issues and related concerns. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her approach centers on listening first and working with each person's strengths to set practical, manageable goals.

She brings nine years of clinical experience to sessions. That experience includes supporting people coping with addictions, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and feelings of guilt or shame. She also helps clients process abandonment wounds and improve communication in important relationships.

In sessions she uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques and keeps the work practical. Conversations aim to identify patterns that cause distress, then test changes that feel doable in daily life. Expect an emphasis on skills you can practice between meetings and on building clearer ways to handle strong emotions.

Kristina approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She treats each person as the expert on their life and helps them weigh options and choose steps that fit their goals. The tone of her work is supportive but focused on real change.

People who appreciate clear guidance, simple tools, and steady encouragement may find her style helpful. Sessions are offered in English and are available through multiple online formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life

Kristina uses straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes to reduce anxiety and low mood; this method is practical and goal-oriented and works well for stress, depression, and social anxiety. Another frequently used approach helps people process traumatic memories and their emotional impact by teaching grounding, emotion regulation, and paced exposure to distressing material; this can help with post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your goals and concerns, then suggest methods that match your needs and preferences. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan as you learn what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and exercises. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a session needs to fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging offer brief check-ins or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity when in-person visits are impractical.
