Kristine Rezny, LCSW

Kristine Rezny is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She has eight years of clinical experience and uses practical methods to help clients manage symptoms and build everyday coping skills. Kristine writes in a warm, down-to-earth way that many people find easy to relate to. Her approach centers on clear, goal-focused conversations. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. Sessions often include simple, doable strategies that clients can try between meetings. Kristine also brings attention to concerns like compassion fatigue, attention challenges related to ADHD, body image, and feeling isolated. She aims to help people regain a sense of control and improve communication patterns that cause stress. She draws on practical examples rather than abstract theory. Clients can expect an open, respectful space where their experience leads the work. Kristine emphasizes collaboration - she listens first, then suggests steps that match a person's life and goals. She encourages small experiments that build confidence over time. Her background includes a range of settings and populations, which inform a flexible style. If someone is looking for straightforward tools to reduce distress and make daily life easier, Kristine offers focused support and steady encouragement.

Practical CBT and flexible online sessions

Kristine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns of thinking that increase stress and anxiety, then test different responses to change how they feel and act. CBT is useful for worries, low mood, grief, and many everyday challenges because it focuses on simple exercises and real-life practice.

She pairs that CBT emphasis with a collaborative stance. She works together with each person to pick strategies that fit their goals and daily routine. Deciding which approach to use is a shared process and may change as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option for a full session, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports brief ongoing contact and reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady support.
