About Kristin

Kristin Jurkowski is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota with 15 years of experience. She welcomes adults who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, relationship strain, eating concerns, or large life changes. Kristin frames therapy as a guided process to help people reconnect with themselves and make steady, practical changes.

Her sessions mix relational attention with evidence-informed methods. Kristin listens for patterns in how people relate and cope, then offers clear options for shifting those patterns. She works with common life stresses like caregiving strain, chronic illness, adoption and foster care matters, and the effects of aging.

Kristin helps people address attachment and abandonment worries, body image and eating issues, and the fallout from divorce or separation. She also supports those coping with cancer, chronic pain, or recovery after natural or human-caused disasters. Her approach is straightforward and focused on what can change now.

People who prefer an engaged, down-to-earth style tend to do well in her practice. Sessions focus on practical steps, honest conversation, and developing new ways to handle old problems. Kristin aims to make therapy feel like a steady, trustworthy place to work through hard moments.

She offers care in English and accepts international clients. Prospective clients are asked to use the site process to match and schedule. Kristin values collaboration and tailors work to each person’s goals and life situation.

How evidence-informed methods translate to online care

Kristin uses relational attention combined with evidence-informed therapeutic techniques. That means she pays close attention to how people connect and respond, then applies methods shown to help with anxiety, grief, and relationship strain. This approach helps make sense of patterns and supports practical steps toward change.

She also focuses on problems around attachment, abandonment, and body image. Work in these areas often includes noticing recurring reactions, testing new ways of relating, and building skills to manage strong emotions. Those techniques are aimed at improving day-to-day coping and relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kristin will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust based on what proves helpful. The aim is to find approaches that feel useful and realistic in daily life.
