Cristina KroezeLCSW

Cristina Kroeze is a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience in Wisconsin. She works with people facing relationship strain, family conflict, grief, and major life changes. She often supports those navigating pregnancy and the postpartum period and helps with social anxiety and communication struggles.

Cristina favors a compassionate, whole-person approach. Sessions focus on understanding each person's story and practical steps they can try between meetings. She brings a warm, Christian-informed perspective and aims to match care to each person's values and goals.

Her work includes helping people untangle family tensions, rebuild communication, and cope with loss. She also supports people through midlife shifts, aging concerns, and the stresses that come with blended families and divorce. Conversations are concrete and solution-focused when that fits the person’s needs.

People meet her for help with parenting stress, postpartum depression, and the emotional impact of infidelity or domestic violence. She pays attention to isolation and life-purpose questions that can feel overwhelming.

Cristina encourages small, achievable changes and builds on strengths clients already have. She aims to help clients develop clearer communication and more steady coping tools. To begin, she asks people to name what matters most and then shapes sessions around those goals.

Approaches and how online therapy can help

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often include methods that teach clear communication skills and approaches that focus on coping with life transitions. Communication-focused work helps people notice patterns, practice new ways of speaking, and try small behavioral changes to reduce conflict and increase connection. Techniques for life transitions emphasize coping strategies, pacing through change, and making practical plans for next steps during pregnancy, postpartum, midlife, or aging.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily responsibilities. Together they shape a plan that blends skills practice, emotional processing, and problem-solving to fit what the person wants to accomplish.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into busy days and reduce travel time. It can make scheduling easier around appointments, childcare, or work, and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you have questions about specific session formats, confirm those options during the matching and scheduling step.
