Kristina Thompson

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 20 years of experience providing therapy to adults from diverse backgrounds. I work with clients navigating anxiety, ADHD, depressed mood, relationship challenges, immigration and life transitions, as well as issues related to self-worth and personal growth.

I have extensive experience supporting individuals and couples, including members of the LGBTQ+ community, and I offer therapy in both English and Russian. My approach is supportive, non-judgmental, and empowering—I focus on helping clients better understand themselves, build confidence, and create meaningful change in their lives.

My approach is collaborative, goal-oriented, and straightforward. Clients often appreciate that I am direct and do not “sugarcoat,” while still providing a supportive and empathetic space.

I integrate evidence-based approaches such as CBT, ACT, and solution-focused therapy to help clients manage anxiety, improve relationships, strengthen self-worth, and work toward clear, realistic goals.

I believe therapy should be practical and effective—you will leave sessions with tools, insight, and a clearer direction. My focus is on empowering you to make confident decisions, improve your emotional well-being, and move forward in your life.

The first session is focused on understanding you—what brings you to therapy, what you’re currently struggling with, and what you want to change or improve. I will ask structured questions to get a clear picture of your situation, background, and patterns that may be affecting you.

We will also begin identifying your goals and what you want to get out of therapy. I may share initial observations and offer practical tools or strategies you can start using right away.

My style is direct, supportive, and non-judgmental. You don’t need to prepare anything in advance—just come as you are. The goal of the first session is to create clarity, direction, and a sense that you’re already moving forward.
