Kristine Rezny, LCSW

Kristine Rezny is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and big life transitions. She combines a down-to-earth manner with practical skills to help clients find clearer ways forward. Kristine writes plainly and listens closely to the details that matter to each person.

She has eight years of clinical experience and draws on work across schools, sports settings, and community care. That range has included supporting people with compassion fatigue, ADHD, body image concerns, and the kinds of identity shifts that happen during a midlife crisis. Kristine aims to meet each person where they are and build on strengths they already have.

In sessions she focuses on simple, usable strategies rather than jargon. She helps clients notice patterns in thought and behavior and try small changes that can make daily life easier. Conversations often include practical tools for managing stress, improving communication, and coping with loss.

Kristine emphasizes collaboration and clear goals. She discusses options with each client and adapts plans as needs change. People who work with her can expect respectful honesty, steady support, and straightforward steps to practice between sessions.

If the reader is wondering how to begin, Kristine asks that they reflect on what they most want to change and be ready to share that at the first meeting. She values small progress and normalizes the courage it takes to reach out.

Approaches that translate to online work

Kristine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into small pieces and gives practical exercises for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes.

She pairs clear, skills-focused work with steady conversation about what matters most to each person. Finding the right approach is part of the process - Kristine collaborates with clients to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress or life circumstances change.

If you are interested in online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for focused check-ins during breaks. Some people find phone or video sessions helpful for quick strategy coaching, while others prefer a longer conversation to practice new communication skills. The therapist will discuss which session rhythm and tools make sense for your situation.
