Kristina Tandoi , LMHC

Kristina Tandoi is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in New York with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on supporting people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and depression, and brings additional attention to issues such as abandonment, communication difficulties, guilt and shame, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and women's issues.

Kristina works from the perspective that each person is the expert on their own story and already carries strengths that can be mobilized to overcome life’s challenges. She partners with clients to identify those strengths, build coping skills, and create practical steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life. Her approach centers on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the needs and goals of each individual.

She is licensed in New York as an LMHC, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor and indicates training and credentials to provide therapeutic care. Taking the first step toward change can take courage, and Kristina aims to offer supportive, respectful guidance through that process. Please note that she currently has availability for evening and weekend clients only.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Kristina applies evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients manage symptoms and build skills. One common focus is skills-based cognitive and behavioral work, which involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and learning practical coping strategies to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage stress. Another focus is trauma-informed care, which emphasizes safety, pacing, and building resilience for those recovering from trauma or abuse and supports work on post-traumatic stress and related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kristina collaborates with each person to assess needs, set goals, and determine which techniques fit best, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so the work aligns with the client’s preferences and circumstances.

Online therapy with Kristina is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexible options to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access regular care from home or other convenient locations, supporting continuity and consistency in the work toward recovery and growth.
