About Christina

Christina Kayrouz is a licensed clinical social worker with 10 years of practice in Kentucky. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Background and approach

Christina emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a steady, supportive presence during sessions. She listens first, then tailors conversation and goals to each person's situation.

Sessions are collaborative and practical. Christina helps people find small, doable steps to reduce overwhelm and rebuild confidence.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including mood struggles, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, addiction, grief, and career stress. She also addresses body image, codependency, and impulse-driven behaviors.

Christina brings attention to everyday functioning as well as deeper emotional patterns. Christina draws on several therapeutic approaches to meet different needs.

She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and commit to meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.

Client-Centered methods keep the person's experience central to every session. People who prefer clear steps and a compassionate listener tend to do well with her style.

She offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Christina works with adults seeking practical support and coaching through life changes and healing from past hurts.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your routine

Christina often blends the Gottman Method with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered techniques. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and understanding in close relationships, helping people notice interaction patterns and build healthier ways of connecting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters most and taking committed action toward those values. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace and focus.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Christina will talk through your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. She adapts plans over time so the work stays practical and relevant to what you want to change.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit your life. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter check-in option, and messaging lets you reflect between sessions. These options give flexibility for scheduling and for matching the style of contact that feels most helpful.
